Look, I believe in OCD. Really, I do. I also believe there are many of us that are more predisposed to develop it or to struggle with it. I am one of those. Believe me, I AM OCD. I actually think Dr. Grayson makes some good points(except for the making up of conflicts that are not there, completely absurd, I wish he hadn't said that because it makes it hard for me and probably others to take him seriously..sounds more like DENIAL, not imaginary conflicts). I still have to say, that the internal conflicts causing some anxiety, are most likely to be fuel adding to the fire or igniting the simmering coals that are OCD. Basically, you have the traits and if you don't get what you need, those traits will develop into something that is severe enough to cause problems.
With me, when I feel good and life is good, my ocd is hardly noticeable. I bet if anyone OCD found themselves feeling loved and well nurtured(by themselves and others), good and healthy, doing what they are passionate about and enjoying it, any struggles with OCD would diminish considerably; maybe to the point of not even noticing they had OCD to begin with.
