DBS is currently being tested as a treatment option for the severly depressed individuals (individuals who have not been able to shake out the depression for years and as a result are not able to function normally). The technique consists in inserting electrodes inside the brain of those individuals (a targeted region) that will then discharge a current at a timed interval. The results are encouraging so far.
In the future this technique could be used for the treatment of severe anxiety, why not!!
