Statement of Need and Purpose

Clinicians need education about the latest evidence on treatment strategies for refractory OCD and how treatments such as DBS might also improve comorbid depression. Many patients with OCD do not reach remission with first-line treatment or subsequent therapies. Surgical options such as DBS, which has been associated with symptomatic improvement in not only OCD symptoms but also mood symptoms, may be considered when other treatments are deemed ineffective.
