Jonathan Grayson, PhD, talks about the biology of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is not only a learning disorder, but also a biological disorder. It is difficult to point out whether a sufferer is going through the learning aspect or biological aspect. Medication is an important support. Although medication helps alleviate the biological aspects associated with OCD, the sufferer still needs to work on the learning aspects. Learn about the three traits OCD sufferers cannot get rid of: above average intelligence, creativity, and denial.
