It really is amazing how far we've come in the last five years in understanding depression and anxiety. Things such as mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and new medications all aid cognitive therapy in potential success. But in the last few years I've seen a few articles talking about the positive research of deep brain stimulation and the success it's had with people who are are so-called "treatment-resistant", IE: people who don't respond well to medication or conventional talk-therapy. This is encouraging news considering how many of us deal with these types of issues and how few of us actually see life-changing positive results.
