Abstract: Depression is a chronic and disabling disease that significantly impacts the quality of life for patients. Conventional treatments, such as medication, psychotherapy, and cognitive therapy, are often ineffective for about one third of patients, known as Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). As TRD is a complex condition that poses challenges in both diagnosis and successful treatment, there is a pressing need to develop new strategies for addressing this issue within modern pharmacology. In recent years, many studies have shown that Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has certain therapeutic effects on TRD.
