Summary
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with severe bipolar depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. DBS involves surgically placing electrodes in the brain to send electrical pulses. The goal is to improve mood and daily function, but it's experimental and may not work. Participants will have 23 visits over 20 months, including hospital stays for monitoring.
