Abstract
Purpose: Clinical society faces tremendous difficulties while treating people with mental illnesses, and the best possible care can only be provided by using an integrative approach to assessment and therapy. Particularly, the field of "psychosurgery," or the neurosurgical management of mental diseases, has piqued interest as a possible means of changing behavior and awareness throughout human history. In cases of severe refractory mental disease, psychological surgery - including "deep brain stimulation" and "stereotactic ablation" - is a key therapy option. Recent developments in neuroimaging, as well as psychosurgery, have increased the focus on these therapy techniques. In this paper, the benefits and drawbacks associated with psychological surgery will be thoroughly examined.
Objective: The main objective of the paper is to aid individuals in understanding the basics of psychosurgery and its applications. Additionally, it focuses on how to remove the stigma associated with psychosurgery by providing reliable scientific data. Basic information and an overview were supplied thoroughly and simply to fulfill the aforementioned claim. In order to address the "psychosurgery versus psychopharmacology" debate, this paper focuses on analyzing information from many sources and outlining the core principles of each of these treatment modalities.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Psychological surgery, which includes "deep brain stimulation as well as "stereotactic ablation," is a crucial treatment strategy in situations of severe refractory mental illness. The fact that several large studies have shown a median rate of response of approximately fifty percent highlights the importance of choosing and selecting participants beforehand. This concept has received attention as a result of recent developments in neurological imaging. Markers of reaction in scientific journals on neuroimaging in psychological operations have also been carefully investigated in order to evaluate the current state of knowledge for imaging prior to surgery. Scientific information was acquired for this research from a variety of trustworthy and legitimate sources. Information has also been extracted from a variety of journal papers.
Findings/Result: Even today, managing patients with mental diseases can be challenging, especially when it is felt that they lack the capacity to make intelligent decisions. Due to all of these factors, the practice of psycho-surgery should adopt an integrated method for assessment and therapy. The way psychological therapies are provided in the future will undoubtedly be impacted by concurrent breakthroughs in the fields of behavioral neuroscience, brain imaging, psychological medications, and neurosurgical procedures. According to studies, ablative neurosurgery and “deep brain stimulation” are successful experimental therapies for people with chronic, acute, and “treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder”, “major depressive disorder”, and “Tourette syndrome”. The careful identification of competent applicants has been guided by suggested criteria. After presenting the details and the expected outcome of the procedure, it is imperative to obtain the person's consent.
Originality and Value: In order for readers from all academic disciplines to understand the basic concepts behind psychosurgery and how it can be used to treat a variety of psychological issues, all of the clinical material has been extracted from reliable, scientific publications and organized effectively in this paper without the use of many medical expressions. The scientific complexity of any theoretical or clinical information was avoided, and the material was organized so as to preserve consistency and systematization.
