The new treatment, which involves implanting electrodes in the brain to stimulate specific regions, has had a remarkable impact on the man's mood and outlook on life. Doctors report that the patient is now able to experience joy and pleasure, something he had been unable to do for many years due to his depression. This case highlights the potential of brain stimulation techniques in treating mental health conditions that are resistant to traditional therapies.
