Summary
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with severe bipolar depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. DBS uses surgically implanted electrodes to send electrical pulses to specific brain areas. The goal is to improve mood and daily function, but this is not a cure—participants will still need ongoing care.
