Hi,
Regarding the difference between delusions and OCD thoughts, I think there is a fine line between them. I think my OCD thoughts are delusional, but I know they are OCD thoughts because I constantly think about one 'bad' thing until it gets me depressed. I think AP's can be used for OCD. I talked to a doctor at Stanford who is experimenting with IV Clomipramine to break up OCD and he asked if I had tried the standard atypical AP's for my OCD. I said yes and he was surprised they didn't help. Now, I'm even contemplating Clozaril.
Anyway, Dinah some of your ideas sound pretty cool. I should go back to an OCD doc that gave me similiar techniques that you use. Maybe some cognitive therapy. Maybe a doc with a religious bent.
I have a book called - Brain Lock - Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D. - but it hasn't been that helpful.
Thanks,
Dave
