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.
