Can Neuralink help treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety effectively?

One of Neuralink’s most promising applications is in the field of mental health. Imagine being able to regulate mood disorders like depression or anxiety through targeted brain stimulation, without relying on medications that often have side effects. By monitoring and adjusting brain signals in real-time, Neuralink could pave the way for personalized mental health therapy. This potential has excited neuroscientists and mental health professionals alike, but it’s also raised questions.
 
Can we truly “hack” emotions without unintended consequences? What about the risk of dependency on such devices? Mental health is complex, and some experts caution that no machine can replace human experience, therapy, or connection. Still, for millions suffering from untreated or treatment-resistant conditions, this kind of innovation could be a lifeline. So, do you believe Neuralink might revolutionize mental health care—or is that too big a claim?
