I saw this on the news tonight and I thought it was very interesting. I just wondered if this has been used somewhere else. I do not have severe OCD unless I am on high dose Pred. but I do have mild OCD. I also wonder if it would work for other mental illnesses like severe Anxiety. This man had high Anxiety because of the severe OCD. He was even suicidal. That must have been terrible for him.

You're Welcome Hibee!

Thank you Lanie, for the hotlink. smile

Really HT? I'd be curious to know what they said. I suppose it would be difficult to understand, without seeing the video. Too bad a person would need surgery to be free of severe OCD. Fortunately, it worked for this lad and probably many more in the future. Always good to see new treatments that work.

Oh, that's good to hear HT. It sounds a little scary but it sure seems to work. It doesn't sound too complicated either.
It's helpful to share new treatments and knowledge. smile My hubby said that someone fro his work, went to Australia to learn new info also.
