I noticed the same thing. TMS, whatever the technique, doesn't seem to help those patients with severe anhedonic depression. I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps there is some neuro-toxic aspect of repeated episodes of depression that does irreparable damage to a key part of the brain. Who knows.
As for DBS, they really have to go back to square one and figure out what it is doing. Two major clinical trials were unable to separate actual DBS stimulation from sham stimulation, meaning that placebo could possibly explain a lot of the supposed efficacy. I know I was one of the non-responders, both to sham and actual stimulation.
Let's hope that something promising develops before long.
