I've undergone surgery for my bad OCD. It helped quite well. I know the FDA has accepted the newer operation type, Deep Brain Stimulation, to offer us, OCD sufferers.
I don't exactly know what it is said about DBS in FDA's guidelines, but they consider this surgery as an exception if no other method helps.

Hi! This word "surgery" would need a more in-depth story, but in general I think I got quite a good help. I saw afterwards, I can mention some changes in my OCD: e.g. instead of taking a 4-hour-shower for me it's enough with 15 minutes today. And another washing ritual: before the surgery, I washed my hands so much during days that my hands were full of wounds. Today, I only wash my hands if there can be seen something that I have to wash away. Some other time I'll tell more. Bye!
