Deep Brain Stimulation in the Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis and Medial Forebrain Bundle in Two Patients With Treatment‐Resistant Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder—A Long‐Term Follow‐Up
This case report presents positive outcomes from deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in two patients with treatment-resistant depression and generalized anxiety disorder. DBS effects in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) area were unclear. Further research into DBS's efficacy when comorbid anxiety is present is required.
