Rod, that is very interesting about glutamate- and yes you're right about ssri's being effective for OCD but I think there are a lot of variants of how OCD manifests it self from person to person. I don't think it is just serotonin.... check this link out on depression bi-polar, anxiety, ocd, etc in re: to glutamates and aspartates etc being excito-toxins to the brain - http://www.coldcure.com-- it is a site by a guy named George Eby- and he has suffered from many of these disorders and refers to them as "hyper-emotionality" I know it is not going to be the case for everyone but this guy is smart and very well versed- he HAS done his homework!! I also know that many references to him and his site have been acknowleged here on PB before!
