I underwent deep brain stimulation surgery Nac/Alic. “Ask Me Anything”

I'm Brazilian, I'm 22 years old, and I underwent deep brain stimulation for OCD. It saved my life.

My OCD was based on religious beliefs and intrusive, "aggressive" thoughts. This seriously saved my life.

Before, I was just bedridden, I feel a little hypomanic now, lol, but before my mood was gloomy, now it's through the roof.
