Also... like all mental problems, I think OCD is much more complex than simple neurotransmitter dysfunction. I mean... I suffer OCD/ADD/GAD/Depression, with anhedonia being a big part of my depression. So let's say OCD is related to high dopamine activity... but then ADD and anhedonia are related to low dopamine activity.. yet I suffer from all of it. It's just too simplified of an explanation.
I know low serotonin and high DA levels are over simplified versions of analysing OCD.
It is possible that for a sub-type of people, they have LOW DA levels and yet exhibit OCD traits.
I believe that the following deserves much more research and better drugs will be invented to fight OCD.
1. serotonin receptors
5HT-1A
5HT-1B
5HT-1C
5HT-1D
5HT-2
5HT-3
5HT-4
2.dopamine levels
3. NE levels
4. GABA system
5. Mutated genes
6. Nutritional deficiency

Freedom.
