Also another question, is depression genetic?Is OCD genetic? and could it be cured or could you take some pills to control it? ?
My grandmother was that way, drove everyone nuts, with her cleaning, I did however get some of her traits, My drawers, are always in apple pie order, always,LOL she drove me nuts, but I am glad I am that way, Depression I believe is brought on by each one of us, for what ever reason we choose it to be. I think its normal, I was depressed in high school, for what ever reason, its natural!! way too much hype on the subject today, I have a friend who is this way, and the dr have a field day filling her full or med's!! the dr's know a sucker when they see one!!Is OCD genetic? and could it be cured or could you take some pills to control it? ?
OCD is a genetic disorder and the disorder can be passed from generation to generation. As far as a cure thats the bad news it can't be cured but you can modify the behavior on your own, without a pill because the pill you're thinking about will dull your senses to change the behavior.
OCD does seem to run in families but a direct genetic link has not been established. If you are a family member with OCD you are more likely to suffer.





Yes there is treatment for OCD, medication is part of the treatment.





Treatment can be very successful so seek out a psychiatrist for help.
I think depression can be genetic, people who are depressed usually have records of depression in their family before. I'm not sure about OCD though.





I used to have pretty bad OCD, i had to force myself not to repeat things and eventually i recovered.
yes
