Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder: I am proof that there is hope.
DBS
is FDA approved for multiple conditions such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s. The surgical procedure is tried and true. It’s not new. The scientists have been spending decades trying to figure out specifically in the brain where the electrodes need to be placed to help with MDD.

Focused Ultrasound Trial Finds Promise for Parkinson’s Patients
Of the 69 patients who received the procedure in the randomized trial, almost 70% responded to the treatment. Thirty-nine participants who received the procedure continued to see significant benefits three months later, and 30 of those assessed at the one-year mark continued to see benefits. The procedure

Has anyone experienced benefits from coq10
According to the following article Comparing the youngest age people to the oldest, the number of striatal dopamine transporters was cut by 46%, or 6.6% per decade of life.3 The rate of loss of dopamine transporters is accelerated in Parkinson's patients, and this age-related factor may suggest why

Catastrophic Reactive Tinnitus and Severe Hyperacusis - My Experience
My sound tolerance must be around 25-30
dbs
now, it is very poor, it has kept getting lower each time I've received a setback. I'm going to try a few more things such as try and get my CAT scan images of my head and send them to various doctors.

Vagal Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Research Summary
Deep Brain Stimulation (
DBS
) is a form of neuromodulation. Neuromodulation can be invasive, requiring surgery (like
DBS
) or noninvasive which provides the stimulation on the surface of the skin. Thus noninvasive neuromodulation does not require surgery.

long-term effects of deepbrainstimulation on brain activity
Researchers led by KBI_UHN Drs. Robert Chen and Ghazaleh Darmani shed light on the long-term effects of #deepbrainstimulation on brain activity in people with #parkinsondisease, laying the groundwork for improved therapies The team discovered that deep brain stimulation increased aperiodic beta activity

DBS Surgery #2, a personal essay
DBS
, or deep brain stimulation, is kind of a mystery to modern medicine. They aren’t 100% sure how or why it works; they just know it does work.

Panic (in the streets of Birmingham)
I’ve got
DBS
lined up but I have real panics during the night, mostly when I wake up and - for the millionth time - fine myself virtually immobile. I know that deep breathing is meant to be the thing but it rarely seems to give me the peace that I hope for.
