Dr. Helen Mayberg and Deep Brain Stimulation Featured on CNN

Helen Mayberg, M.D. a long-time valued member of One Mind’s Scientific Advisory Board, appears in a CNN news story about Deep Brain Stimulation, the experimental therapy for treatment-resistant depression she has helped to pioneer. The therapy involves implanting electrodes deep inside the brain to deliver tiny pulses of current to the brain’s mood governance center, Area 25. After beginning treatment, patient Edi Guyton said, “If there is joy in my life, I have the capacity to feel it.” The story appears at CNN.
