thats cool that they can do that.

Our understanding of the brain and neurochemistry makes it unwise, even foolish, to attempt treatments like this. There are many drugs used to treat depression, and all of them have nasty side effects. If it can't achieve it with chemicals without side effects, is it reasonable to try it with dangerous new techniques?

Are you referring to SSRI drugs? Which drugs, and what "nasty side effects" are you referring to? I wouldn't claim that all drugs used to treat depression have "nasty side effects".

SSRIs, tricyclics, venlafaxine, nefazodone, bupropion. The first two are a type of antidepressants, which are associated with side effects like nausea, insomnia, migraines, and sexual problems. Common side effects of tricyclics include blurred vision, problems peeing, constipation, and impaired thinking and tiredness. I misspoke when I said that all drugs used to treat depression have nasty side effects, but a great many of them do.

I believe they do something similar to this with some other disorder, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called!!!!!!! >< (I think it has something to do with the heart?)

I know several people who have used SSRIs for over 7 years now, and they haven't complained of any side effects.

I remember seeing a commercial for a treatment for depression that could cause erectile dysfunction. I can hardly see that making somebody less depressed. :D
