Puh-lease.
I've had OCD all my life.
I've read the books. I take the medicine. I take the therapy. It is chemical.
What you're so hung up on, is that OCD can be helped with therapy. It can be treated with therapy and with medicine, I take both.
However, it is still caused by chemical imbalance. It is chemical, even though it can be treated without chemicals.


You're welcome.
Hyperbole.
If it were chemical the therapy wouldn't be at all necessary. Reductionism is horrible.
It can be fixed, most certainly, by psychoanalysis or individual psychological therapy- without the need for poison.
A chemical imbalance that cannot be explained chemically and can be tuned without chemicals?

You're Welcome.
Logical Fallacy.
Just because something is chemical doesn't mean it needs Chemicals to be treated. Chemicals can treat it. Therapy can treat it, too. And note that I say treat, not fix. Because OCD is chronic, it can never be cured, at least not with modern science, even when it's in remission.
I expect you to start checking your facts before you post from now on, child.

Not fallacy- diagnosis.
It's simple enough to fix- it's a psychoneurosis- medication of course never fixes a problem.
Condescension works not where discussing with an expert.
@CH1YO: You are either naturally argumentative, or the most succesful troll I have ever met. XD
Proof?

@Lumanny: Give Freud a break. Yeah, a lot of his ideas don't hold up today. But he started from pretty much nothing, yeah?

It's not that simple to fix.

Historically, psychologists have considered obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) a challenging disorder to treat, with significant numbers of patients failing to benefit from treatment. The heterogeneity of the population and the complexity of the disorder have been contributing factors. However, cognitive–behavioral treatments are showing great promise, particularly when delivered with pharmacotherapy and tailored to the unique characteristics of each OCD subtype.

Why such a seemingly strong aversion to medication? You're not an expert on the subject, medication helps a lot with a large variety of disorders, no one here is saying that it should be taken as a substitute for therapy or without caution but you seem willing to deny something that could greatly help to increase the quality of life for an individual.

Why is that?

Of course it's difficult- there is no easy fix. Simple enough as it follows the patterns of psychoneurosis but it's never easy.

It's a simple enough thing- on an individual case basis it can be highly useful but when generalised it both undermines humanity and is at the rot that has left American Psychology intellectually impotent for decades.

I am however expert.

You ARE the expert in making up facts, I must admit.
Medication treats, but does not cure. Unless that experimental new brain surgery can actually do it, thre is no cure.


Not at all, I wouldn't do something so very common.
Psychotherapy is more than fit to correct any psychoneurosis.

That one I will let go, as Pschocotherapy vs. Psychaiarty is a Judgement call.

No, Freud was totally wrong about that one. I just like him for the stuff he did that still holds up, because those parts are genius.

If you want to keep your credibility, only post things that you can back up.
