I think it's extremely hopeful! I've often
wondered why something like this hasn't been
invented before--like you say, we have pacemakers
for the heart, and insulin pumps for diabetics...
why not some sort of physical object that could
be implanted to regulate seratonin? Personally,
I'd much rather have a device of some sort than
have to take these crazy meds for the rest of my
life suffering weight gain, sexual dysfunction,
sweatiness, and all the rest! I've also been
suspicious if there's more money put into
drug research b/c there's more money to be made with
a pharmaceutical (b/c of long term use) than
there would be with some sort of device...Anyway, thanks for those articles and the discussion.
I really hope something comes of it!
