Here is some OCD news. I read this a few days ago.
I have heard of brain surgery used to cure OCD before. In the book “Getting Control” by Lee Baer, there was an OCD suffer who had brain surgery to treat his OCD. The surgery was a last resort. The doctors had to be assured that all other therapies were exhausted. The sufferer had the surgery and his OCD was either tampered down tremendously or gone.
On a side note, I like uplifting trance. I have been listening to it for about 14 years. I don’t think it made a difference with my OCD recovery however.
Then ABC aired an hour long story about OCD on 20/20 last night. Here are some links to the story. There are more links about the story; just Google them to see more.

The story showed the before and after of the OCD suffers. They were in bad shape in the beginning and 5 years later they looked pretty good. I was surprised. They looked normal to me. I probably wouldn’t have noticed that they had OCD. I think some of them were on medication and managing their OCD.
