What is this Condition?
Diagnosis Methods
Assessment is based on psychiatric examination, standardized scales measuring symptom severity, review of past treatments, and criteria for treatment resistance. Comorbid depression, anxiety, and attention-memory status are also evaluated separately. The decision regarding surgical appropriateness is made through multidisciplinary team evaluation.
Treatment Methods
Options may include deep brain stimulation (DBS) or procedures targeting specific brain regions. These methods are considered only in severe, treatment-resistant cases after detailed patient information and consent. Psychiatric follow-up and psychotherapy continue after the procedure; optimal results are achieved with combined ongoing support.
