Dang, that's a really interesting read! I hope this technology progresses and becomes more refined - while I imagine it's last resort, it's always good to have one more last resort to try when dealing with something as horrible as clinical depression and suicidal ideation.
- I'm sure it would never be abused by tyrannical governments, fascist billionaires, or weapons manufacturers. /s
  
  If they can block suicide ideation with such a device, they certainly can stimulate it, and cause mass suicide. Or on the other hand, they could drive users into a deep depression and turn them into suicide bombers.
We're getting the tasp sooner than expected.
