Hello dear visitors -
apologies for the periods of silence. There are new developments in the scientific exploration of OCD that asked for intense attention. I stopped temporarily at the point where alterations in the visual tracts were discussed as being a potential factor in the etiogenesis of OCD.
The plot thickened considerably. I found material that also linked other disorders, related to OCD, to the visual system. Take the OCD spectrum of mental disorders: if one considers attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Tourette's Disorder (TD), then one learns that these also have conspicuous relations with the occipital and parietal lobes. Well, not always, in science there is the odd 'odd man out', so to speak (pun intended). But the positive findings are compelling in their structural, endophenotypical and phenomenological features.
Well, I realize full well that I am in grave danger of losing myself in the wealth of material. Also there is the problem of taking the text to the other blog I mentioned.
Plans: I must disentangle, or deconstruct if you will, what I have got so far, and present it in another format. And I will take the new info step by step, so that I can go from the general to the special many times over without confounding the reader.
Stay tuned for more chart hits in the chequered history of OCD, folks!
