I always thought my DBS keeps me depression free although I know electrodes are 
in STN.  I was depressed for a short time after my recent surgery.  I also heard 
"they" are working on making electrode placement more specific to PD symptoms, 
instead of potluck with STN or globus pallidus. (Sp??)

Wish I had something concrete to report.
