ABSTRACT:
Techniques using one or more drugs and/or electrical stimulation for treating an anxiety disorder by means of an implantable signal generator and electrode and/or an implantable pump and catheter. A catheter is surgically implanted in the brain to infuse the drugs, and one or more electrodes may be surgically implanted in the brain to provide electrical stimulation.
