Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of deep brain stimulation in treatment resistant depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is deep brain stimulation effective in treating treatment resistant depression? * Does deep brain stimulation improve overall clinical well-being and functioning? Participants will be implanted with a deep brain stimulation device. They will then be monitored over a 5-year period by using multiple questionnaires to track their depression symptoms. The device will be turned off at certain time points, unbeknown to the participant, to show the efficacy of the device when it is turned on. The device will be ON for 8.5 months and OFF for 3.5 months during the first year. Researchers will compare questionnaire scores when the device is off versus on to see if the device is working in reducing depression.

Primary Outcome

The MADRS is the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, which at 12 months will be the primary endpoint. The investigators hypothesize is that there will be a significant effect of being stimulated (ON) versus not simulated (OFF) on MADRS scores. Also, that at 12 months 50% of the patients will be responders.
