That would seem to make sense, wouldn't it--a hard situation when I need more DA in the frontal cortex to help my depression and other issues...

Your hypothesis would make sense given that (I've read) antipsychotics may be the 'treatment of choice' for 'tic-related OCD.'

Maybe....theoretically it makes one think there could be a way of targeting the area of the brain responsible for OCD/Tics/whatever, and reducing activity there while leaving most of the rest functioning. But I imagine such a thing hasn't been invented yet (maybe deep-brain stimulation is the way to go for such relatively precise targeting...)

What you say makes good sense.
