To educate others after my son's death from suicide. I particularly like how Dr. Williams states that this treatment helps patients suffering to realize that their condition is their brain circuitry and not something they are doing wrong. He seemed so pleased with this treatment not only helping the condition, but helping remove the stigma. It's just so gut-wrenching to see Dr. Williams in this video, only to know now that he is gone.
