The amazing story of a guy who suffered from OCD and depressii



In 1983, Briton George was 19 years old. The young man suffered obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, which, among other things, expressed that he too often took a shower, and a few hundred times a day washing his hands. George tried many treatments, but none of them did not give the desired result. Because of his mental problems man she was forced to drop out of school and could not find a job.

During the next argument in the hearts of the mother I said to George: "Your life is worthless. You can just go and shoot myself. " The guy took her words as a guide to action - he took the pistol .22 (5, 6 mm) down to the basement and shot himself in the mouth. Unbelievable, but the wound was not fatal - George was taken to hospital, where doctors gave him the necessary help.

Surgeons removed the bullet, which, as it turned out later, almost completely destroyed the left frontal lobe of the brain of George and the young man went to the amendment. When he recovered, he found that morbid craving for constant hand washing and showering disappeared, although there were no other signs of brain damage were observed: his IQ was at the same level, and all the symptoms of mental abnormalities disappeared. After such a miraculous deliverance from illness, George went to college and successfully graduated.
