I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for years now, and even though I'm on medication, it's not helping much. It's really affecting my work and daily life, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Are there any newer treatments or even surgical options that could help with OCD? I'm desperate for something that actually works.
