Imagine living with severe depression for as long as you can remember, feeling like a wall is blocking your ability to experience the full range of human emotions. This was the reality for Tom, a Minnesota man who had tried every treatment under the sun without finding relief. That was until he discovered a University of Minnesota study exploring a novel, personalized approach to brain stimulation therapy.
This innovative treatment, developed by a team of experts including MnDRIVE Brain Conditions researchers: psychiatrist Ziad Nahas, functional MRI expert Damien Fair, neuromodulation specialist Tay Netoff, and neurosurgeon David Darrow, has brought new hope to those struggling with severe depression. For Tom, the results were nothing short of miraculous: "It was like something had just opened, or a wall had come down."
