Abstract

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by persistent obsessions with intrusive thoughts leading to severe generalized anxiety and/or compulsions in the form of repetitive tasks to relieve this distress. The success of deep brain stimulation surgery for a variety of movement disorders over the past 2 decades has led to the exploration of this treatment modality for medically refractory OCD.
