People with OCD are silent sufferers. No body knows how hard it is, and nobody seems to care, just mental doctors.😔 OCD IS cancer in the mind.
A beautiful story which encompasses all the best: tragedy, drama, romance, comedy, western, mystery, and as Karenlee stated "a fairy tale!" Better person for having lived some of the story with the Boardmans!!
Thank you for sharing your story! I love your family!❤️
No problem
So beautiful and inspiring!❤
Thank you
That was really good! I'll have to get Lisa to watch it, I'll cast it to the tv.
Jebb what an amazing story how are you now ?
Awesome, Kyle!! You're an inspiration to so many in the epilepsy community!
Thank you!
Keep doing what you’re doing man! You’re an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story!
Appreciate that Cody!
Love this story ❤️
I have ocd. I hate it. I find the medicine is working but I wonder if there is more that can be done. Thiis is amazing, I wish it for others and if I could I would get this done. I remember one time a nurse asked me what my obsession and compulsions were. I was offended. I felt like I was on display. This is miserable and I can tell you it is hell.
Capsulotomy ablation is an option. I had that done for my OCD, it came out well and I don’t have OCD anymore. Contact UChicago Medicine for more information.
ERP intensive therapy is necessary with the meds.
@@astrostar4181 Congratulations! Wish everyone could find that relief.
Amazing story! Yeah UCHealth
Thank you Sally!
So happy for you, Jon! What a life saving procedure.
