VNS - Vagus
Nerve Stimulation (Wiki)
Typically a treatment for epilepsy, Vagus Nerve Stimulation
may provide the answer to
extreme disorders. Simply put, a small
pacemaker like contraption is connected up to, yes, your
vagus nerve. via a small cable under the skin;
the device itself is implanted at the base of the neck.
It sends frequent but mild stimulation to your
brain, resulting in an antidepressant effect amongst others. It is generally
regarded as more effective than drug therapy. Many people don't feel the shocks,
whilst others aren't so lucky. The energy levels of the
device can be toned down very easily to a more
acceptable level and can be turned off altogether if
it's causing unpleasantness.
