      A tiny brain implant, no bigger than a blueberry, is moving from lab concept to human testing in the United States. Motif Neurotech has secured clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin its first clinical trial targeting treatment-resistant depression. The decision marks a key step for a company aiming to bring engineering-driven solutions into mainstream mental health care.

      Nearly 3 million Americans live with forms of depression that do not respond to standard treatments. Motif’s approach focuses on directly interacting with neural circuits rather than relying only on drugs or talk therapy. The trial will test whether targeted electrical stimulation can improve outcomes where other methods have failed

      It’s good that depressed people are never unemployed and have a perfect track record of following up with doctors.

      Nothing can possibly go wrong here in the glorious united states of America.

      Size of a blueberry is pretty significant. I’d like it to be pencil point small before I let it be in my brain.

      this implant seems like a major step forward for treatment-resistant depression, but what kind of support systems will be put in place to help people deal with the potential psychological fallout of having a device implanted in their brain.

      No one should get this. This company will go bankrupt and you will be stuck with a dead implant in your head. The US healthcare system is not set up to help you. It is designed to extract as much money from as possible. This will be a disaster.

      Cybernetics was so cool in old-school sci-fi. Since always-online is a thing pretty much everywhere now, having anything implanted is scary.
