ABSTRACT
The deep brain stimulation DBS is the newest physical method of the treatment of depressive disorders. When applying of this technique in neurological illnesses (e.g. Parkinson's disease), mood changes were observed. In 2005, Helen Mayberg et al. used DBS in the therapy of the depression for the first time. Stimulating electrodes were placed in Brodmann areas 25. In the period of some past years, only about 30-40 patients with refractory depression have undergone DBS treatment. Numerous problems connected with applying DBS in patients with psychiatric disorders are described in the paper.
