FDA OKs Electric Shock Brain Implant
In an insane move today the FDA has officially approved a device that is surgically implanted into a patients body to treat depression. This approval comes despite extreme controversy over whether it’s even been proven to work.
The VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) is implanted into the chest. Wires then snake up the neck to the vagus nerve The device then delivers an electric shock to the Vagus nerve which in turn sends the electric shock to the base of the brain.
The craziest part about the FDA’s approval is that the device itself hasn’t even conclusively been proven to work!
More than half of patients in the depression study experienced voice alterations — a hoarseness or raspiness, or voice “breaks”. Some describe it as a sort of vibration effect on the persons voice.
Other complications include difficulty breathing or swallowing. Deaths have been reported among some epilepsy patients who have on of the implants. I can only imagine what the long term effects of this device are.
Psychiatry and the FDA portray themselves as guardians of our mental health and yet at every turn they prove otherwise. It’s time the public wake up and see how the psychiatric and big pharmaceuticals have the FDA approving insane treatments like electric shock and mind altering drugs when they are clearly harmful.
