Hello to all of you that responded to my posting on depression. I have what is call Treatment Resistant Depression. I have been on all the old meds, the new ones, combinations, 2 courses of ECT therapy but none of it seems to work for me. I stay in the house, don't even get the mail across the street. I have been doing research on Vagus Nerve Stimulator's. It is an implant in your chest much like a pacemaker, with a coil that is wrapped around your Vagus Nerve. The longest nerve in your body. The implant divice gives off a slight electrical charge and regular intrevals. This stimulates the Vagus nerve to produce the chemicals you are lacking. I am trying to get this proceedure done. It is a long term treatment that is supposed to get better with time. Anyone interested in more information call 1-877-now-4vns (1-877-669-4867). If anyone out there has the VNS implant, I would love to hear what you think about it, even if it has been unsuccessful. Thanks so much. Depressed Donna
