A patient who had endured 25 years of chronic depression has found relief thanks to a team of neurosurgeons and psychiatrists. The patient received surgery at the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Medical City in Madinah to treat his severe symptoms and anxiousness.

In order to treat the acute symptoms of sadness and the anxiety that goes along with it, a medical team made up of psychiatrists and neurosurgeons was assembled to discuss the case.

Under general anesthesia, doctors cut into the patient’s superior frontal gyrus on both sides throughout the procedure.

There were no issues during the operation. The patient is now sleeping more soundly, feeling happier overall, and having fewer thoughts of death and fear about the future. His sleep patterns have also reverted to normal.

With the assistance of a team of neurosurgeons using cutting-edge, crucial treatments to relieve depression symptoms, the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Medical City offers neurosurgeries for depression patients. In the Middle East, there is nothing like this service.
