Summary
This early-stage study tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) is safe and effective for people with depression that hasn't improved with other treatments.

Their symptoms will be tracked with questionnaires over 5 years, and the device will be turned on and off without their knowledge to measure its true effect.
