Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed before any advice.
Treatment of OCD is primarily by drugs and psychological interventions.
Surgery is generally not advised and is available at only few centres.
Next Steps
No surgery can be called a safe surgery.
OCD surgery can have its own problems.
