Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bilateral cingulotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the destruction of a portion of the cingulate gyrus in the brain. It has been used primarily in the treatment of medication-resistant major depression, as well as other disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and chronic pain. While it has been used in some cases of anxiety disorders like panic disorder, it is not a first-line treatment and is typically reserved for severe cases that have not responded to other therapy techniques. It is not typically used to treat personality disorders or schizophrenia.
