Deep Brain Stimulation: Once ready for surgery, two holes are drilled into the head. From there, the surgeon threads a slender tube down into the brain to place electrodes on each side of a specific area of the brain

After the electrodes are implanted and the patient provides feedback about their placement, the patient is put under general anesthesia. The electrodes are then attached to wires that are run inside the body from the head down to the chest, where a pair of battery-operated generators are implanted.

Although it is unclear exactly how the device works to reduce depression or OCD, scientists believe that the pulses help to “reset” the area of the brain that is malfunctioning so that it works normally again.

This scares the heck out of me.

Yeah, me too. I don’t want anyone touching my brain under any circumstances, unless it’s a matter of life and death.

Sounds awesome, where do I sign up. Maybe they can add another memory chip while there at it

[TheBest]

lol a doc in Central America might be able to give you this surgery for a discount

That’s how you end up on that show “Botched.” Do not trust any “cheaper alternatives.”

Drill baby drill. Drilling noise was one of my first hallucinations, man that was annoying

Honestly if this worked for schizophrenia and I didn’t need meds I would do it.

This is what I get for clicking on this site today. You could have saved the description for the actual post instead of in the title. I hope you are well today! @TheBest

Sorry I put the juiciest thing in the headline.

You’re not scared of someone digging around in your brain? You must be very brave.

[Air]

I don’t think I’m too brave. This is a fairly standard procedure for things like OCD, depression, Tourettes etc… I would trust a skilled surgeon.

I don’t get how it works with cutting your hair, one botched snip and your in trouble
