Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I ran across today online........But first, more good news.......my son gained another pound, so he's up 3 lbs. in the past week, I am so thrilled!!! First is an article about NIH researchers identifying an " OCD Risk Gene. " http://www.tourettesyndrome.net/disorders/obsessive-compulsive-disorder/nih-rese\ archers-identify-ocd-risk-gene/ This link is to a presentation by 2 doctors about DBS surgery (Deep Brain Stimulation), commonly used for Parkinson's and other movement disorders, but now also being used for OCD and Tourette's. There is one part where the doctor describes what life was like for an adult OCD sufferer prior to the surgery, it is pretty mind-boggling and then amazing that this surgery has totally turned her life around http://mdc.mbi.ufl.edu/research/tedx-talk-on-deep-brain-stimulation-by-dr-michae\ l-okun-and-dr-kelly-foote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
