Chip in my brain...I would be too paranoid to get one so I will just deal with my OCD through tips and tricks I get in therapy. My OCD has calmed a little with the things my old T taught me and the anxiety meds they finally got me to take (I am fine with the gabapentin but the klonopin makes me feel that it is destroying my personality so that is only as needed instead of the 4 times a day it is prescribed). However, I hope they will make a way, even if it is a chip in the brain, for the people that truly suffer so much from OCD and are more accepting that I am of it.
