Abstract
With advances in technology, neurosurgical procedures are being examined for potential use in psychiatric conditions. However, the use of neurosurgical procedures in psychiatry carries the baggage of memories of psychosurgery. Different neurosurgical techniques carry their characteristic safety, efficacy, and complication profile. The introduction of deep brain stimulation has generated a new interest in surgical treatment with a distinct advantage over lesioning procedures used in the past. In such a scenario, it is essential that an informed discussion takes place regarding the use of these neurosurgical procedures in psychiatric disorders such that patient safety, informed consent, regulatory requirements, and research are taken care of.
