And today's good news. A world-first clinical trial of a tiny brain implant for treatment-resistant depression has been given the go-ahead in the US. The wirelessly powered device, about the size of a blueberry, sits in the skull and sends tiny electrical signals to parts of the brain linked to depression.
At least 30% of people diagnosed with depression are classified as being treatment-resistant, meaning their symptoms are not improved by traditional medications and therapies. The device, developed by researchers at Rice University in Texas, received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to begin human trials.
Professor of Bioengineering Jacob Robinson said, "...the goal for this technology is that it would be the mental health equivalent of a continuous glucose monitor for diabetes."

So let's be conservative and say six, that's $300 a month.
