One shot one lesion and the OCD was gone

[ChamberOfEchoes]

This story is insane but real and it messes with your head a very young guy with a brutal obsessive compulsive disorder the kind that eats your life with nonstop thoughts and rituals at some point tries to kill himself with a .22 caliber rifle he survives gets operated on and then something completely unreal happens the brain lesion hits a circuit involved in OCD and the symptoms basically disappear instantly no spiritual journey no months of therapy no placebo it's like someone just pulled the plug and the even crazier part is that he doesn't end up mentally impaired he doesn't lose memory he doesn't become incapable he goes back to studying working living normally the doctors don't talk about a miracle they take notes because they realize there's a huge and uncomfortable truth there and the case is also reported by the New York Times in 1988 and it's massive news because it shows that certain mental suffering isn't a sacred identity or an eternal sentence or a moral fault but flesh and neural circuits that when they break in the right spot change everything and that's why this story is incredible not because it suggests doing anything but because it destroys the toxic narrative of it's forever and leaves nothing but raw reality right in front of your eyes
