| I found this quite interesting since there are so many who deal with the beast everyday then turn to drugs or alcohol to relieve their pain. There is hope  | |

| There was someone on our local news who had this done in PA and she's doing great. But it's not FDA approved for depression yet, hence your insurance company won't pay for it  | |
