4. Does deep brain stimulation lead to dementia?
No. Deep brain stimulation does not increase the chances of dementia. But, some people with dementia are not ideal candidates for the procedure.
5. How fast can one recover from DBS surgery?
One can return to work after 2 weeks of surgery. However, it is completely unsafe to engage in heavy activities, such as jogging, swimming, taking part in physical education classes or any form of strenuous work for 4-6 weeks.
6. Is DBS an approved procedure for depression?
DBS is not an FDA approved procedure to treat depression or bipolar disorder. It is an approved treatment for Parkinson’s disease, chronic & severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dystonia.
7. Does DBS result in weight gain?
Weight gain is one of the most common concerns after the DBS procedure. Weight gain must be closely monitored as it can increase the risk of other health complications, if ignored.
