They are also doing trials on DBS targetting the anterior cingulate and the Nucleus Accumbens. So if you were to go for this sort of invasive surgery which trial would you want to get on? I mean it's pot luck really isn't it?

Also, with these patients who are having the surgery in the different trials it says they have all been depressed for years. If this is the case then this brings me back to the same question I asked above. I thought the only type of depression that was chronic was dysthymia. I know a person can have more than one major depressive episode during their life time but don't they remit at some point anyway?
