Many people, including many doctors, do not necessarily understand modern minimally invasive surgery for mental illnesses very well, thinking that how can the brain be operated on when not a single brain cell can be lost? And they like to judge the surgery based on their own subjective assumptions or still take the situation of 50-60 years ago. In fact, minimally invasive surgery has been used to treat mental illness for more than 130 years, and the surgical targets used now have been applied for more than 80 years, and have been clinically proven abroad for more than 70 years, proving that the surgery is safe, effective and mature. With the progress of science and technology, the surgery is also becoming more and more advanced, almost a major upgrade in 6-8 years, so today’s surgical treatment of mental illness is incomparable with the past, and surgical treatment has many advantages that drug treatment does not have. We have experienced the clinical observation and conclusion of thousands of cases in the past 20 years, and its main features are introduced as follows Fast results, can be seen immediately, the surgery as soon as you wake up, the family described the surgery only every other night completely changed; 2, effective for a variety of psychiatric symptoms in all aspects, including positive symptoms, negative symptoms, emotional symptoms or mood symptoms, including depression and mania, anxiety, fear, compulsion and behavior disorders are effective, while drug treatment is often selective, such as antipsychotic drugs only for psychiatric symptoms There, on depression, mania, anxiety, compulsion, fear is not effective, must be used separately; 3, the elimination of symptoms is more complete, most patients after surgery almost all symptoms can disappear, part of the patient surgery immediately restore self-knowledge; 4, the elimination of temper tantrums, hurtful attacks, suicidal behavior is the most complete, and can even maintain a lifetime, after surgery temper tantrums become mild personality, and drugs on These symptoms are often ineffective, and even if they are effective, they are prone to relapse, and the grumpy character is impossible to change; 5. Language function, affection, inquisitiveness or curiosity, and diet are recovered quickly. It is difficult to restore or recover very slowly from medication for these functions, while these functions can be recovered quickly after surgery, such as long-term non-speech, refusal to eat, hostility to family members, etc. Once awake after surgery, the patient will talk, take the initiative to eat, and have affection for parents. Some patients who have been sick for more than ten years and then do not read books or practice piano love to learn and practice piano after surgery. 6, there is a follow-up effect, a few patients after surgery for a period of time the effect may not be significant and 1-2 years after the effect is outstanding or spontaneous remission, this feature is also drug treatment is not; 7, social function recovery better, about 70% of our post-operative patients can go out to work, more marriage, childbirth, and higher education; 8, most of the post-operative drug intake significantly reduced; can reduce or avoid the high dose of drugs due to 9, can shorten the duration of medication, drug treatment mostly advocates lifelong medication, and after surgery may change the situation, of course, the specific postoperative medication how long to take depends on the recovery; 10, can interrupt the possibility of chronic progressive aggravation of mental illness, that is, to block the “excitatory neurotoxic” effect of mental illness, while 11, post-operative compliance improved, most can cooperate with family rehabilitation and management, quality of life significantly improved; 12, most do not relapse, a small number of possible relapse, but the relapse interval is long, the severity is also lighter than the drug treatment, easy to control. 13. In the long term, medical costs can be reduced. Although surgery is a one-time cost, the overall cost is reduced because recurrence is significantly reduced or even no longer recurring. Why are these characteristics? Drug treatment for mental illness relies on the combination of drugs and receptors to block the relevant neurotransmitters, such as blocking dopamine receptors and down-regulating dopamine function to treat mental illness, while surgical treatment is a physical method to directly block the neural circuit and play the same role as drug treatment. Modern research has found that the main lesions of psychiatric disorders are in the limbic system neural circuits, involving sites such as the anterior limb of the internal capsule, the prefrontal lobe, the anterior cingulate (dorsal to the cognitive subregion and ventral to the emotional subregion), the amygdala (the medial cortical nucleus inhibits violent behavior and regulatory activity, and the basolateral nucleus produces violent behavior), and the vomeronasal nucleus (especially associated with addictive behavior). However, since this is a direct physical block, it is understandable that the effect is immediate. On the other hand, it is biologically blocked and biologically altered, so the effect is more complete and many patients can recognize the disease as soon as they are awake after the surgery, i.e., they recover faster. Now foreign scholars using PET study found that patients with mental illness have metabolic abnormalities in the cerebral neural circuit, including some metabolic decreases and some metabolic enhancements, and reconstruction of the neural circuit after surgery can restore the above metabolic abnormalities to normal. We have recently returned to some of the patients who had surgery 10 years ago, and many of them have not relapsed for 10 or 11 years after surgery, and their life and work are basically normal, and nearly half of them have achieved clinical cure, which is difficult to achieve with drug treatment.
