Pace makers are being used to treat depression. Over 6 years 200 people were treated by having wires connected to a pace maker that sends charges to the area of the brain that professionals believe causes depression. I believe the number of subjects that are responding positively is 67%. The other 33% did not respond or saw no change in their mental health. 4 of the subjects committed suicide. This treatment was offered after all others had failed or the depression was considered extreme or chronic.
With those numbers, if it were available to you, would you take the pacemaker treatment?
