But both my grandson and I fight depression, and he's AD&D on top of that; so we've decided against having one in the house... at least for now. We're okay as long as the meds schedule is adhered to... but having such a definitive "solution" is one temptation too many AFAIC. I could see us changing our minds in the future, if the hell on earth we're beginning to experience now gets worse (and we know it will).

We've got CoreCivic wanting to build a new detention (re: deportation) center here... we're marching against it on 7/19. Tempers run high when you're talking jobs and money...
