Thank you-we spoke with neuro nurse today. Cursory "lookover" from nurse says the depression we are both having is likely a result of social and financial impact on our lives. Their goal now is to get her dopamine levels up with adjunctive therapy and put us in counseling with victims assistance. I feel optimistic that thee measures will help. I certainly don't want to try talking a doctor into something dangerous just for false hope. The screening is there fo a reason. . . . It was kind of you to answer my post. Thank you very much for the info. I do pray the DBS will help the apropriate candidates on this list, and wish all the best for them.
