Wow ~ It's a little scary, but interesting at the same time. I have clinical depression, and it sure would be nice if they could find something to relieve this horrible illness.

Thanks for the post. We'll just have to wait and see! Hugs, Lee

Thanks for post. I myself am interested in possibly getting the treatment, however I have no support system or people around me to help me in my time of need. I do my best to reach out online and I have looked into the surgery, but I want to find other people who are also interested in or have had this surgery so I can ask questions and talk to them about it.
