Exclamation DBS...early, not later when life is unbearable?

My movement disorder doc told me today that the new school of thought is that DBS should be done early. That PWPs are being encouraged not to wait until they have lost too much function. That having DBS early, rather then later, allows the PWP to have a better, more functional life.

Any thought on this subject??
