Not all depression can be alleviated by therapy or SSRIs.
It is interesting that the signals that caused depressive episodes originated in the amygdala. That's a part of the brain that deals primarily with instinctive behaviors like lust, fight or flight, fear, anger, etc. Often called the "reptile brain" because it is most of what a reptile has.
A biomarker was detected that proceeds the onset of depressive symptoms. It sends a small electrical signal to disrupt it. I am wondering if it might be adaptable for bipolar and other intermittent forms of psychological dysfunction. PTSD in particular.
If I suffered from crippling depression, I'd go for it.
