Hi Spriggy,Yes its definately proven that it can help in both epilepsy and depression.
http://vnsdepression.com has lots of information about it and a forum with a couple of people who have had it. The british girl says it has changed her life. Although like most thing I doubt this is the case for every body whos had it.
Im really not at all sure if it would help with anxiety. The side effects seem to be that everytime its switched on (30 seconds for every 5mins) you get a horseness in your voice.
Very interesting device, but quite a big step to take and can be very expensive!
Im bipolar so would have concerns that if its could for depression - could it push you up too far...
Kind regardsNick
