By Mayo Clinic staffIf deep brain stimulation works as hoped, your depression symptoms will improve or go away completely. It may take several months of treatment with deep brain stimulation before you notice any improvements in your depression symptoms, though. And not everyone with chronic depression, especially those who have had depression for years, gets better with deep brain stimulation. Additional research is needed to learn more about how deep brain stimulation works and how safe and effective it is for depression.
