There, a doctor talked about the 'hard-wiring' of the brain. Since it's a prpgressive disease, the bond between the neurons that send the stimlus tend to become stronger. A patient ultimately loses a lot of control over his choices. However, it CAN be rewired with treatment, according to the doctor. The 're-wiring' of the brain is a slow process, and the doctor said that the awareness that one is suffering from OCD is a major step in the right direction. Cheers :) RK Admin Hi amused,

It appears to have intensified over the past year. I have not had her evaluated YET. Right now it's little things such as she can't be the first or last to leave or enter a room, I have to be the last person she talks to at the end of the day. Little idiocracies for now. I am not fond of medicating her. Instead, I am trying to help her cope and be mentally aware of things. I’m seeing the start of OCD in my teen daughter.
