If you doctor thinks that you should consider vagus nerve stimulation for your condition, you should educate yourself about this remarkable therapy. It is a 90-minute out-patient procedure and is not related to ECT or brain surgery. For the immediate future, you should be aware of all the online suicide help that is readily available to you.
