Surprisingy, mice who have had an adrenalectomy (with supplemental andrenal hormones) show dramatically enhanced neurogenesis. I heard it is also very effective for psychotic depression.

Imagine, removing the very thing that creates the anxiety to begin with. You simply wouldn't get that surge of adreneline whenever you encounter something stressfull, and as a result you wouldn't learn to fear it.
