Can Medication Cure Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Medication can't change the subconscious, anxious 'habit', which causes and perpetuates OCD. I have to be careful here though because I don't believe that OCD actually exists as a stand-alone condition! Why? Firstly, the word disorder implies illness... anxiety fueled obsessive behavior is not an illness... secondly, it doesn't require a name at all because it, just like a racing heart, upset stomach, chest tightness etc. is simply another anxiety SYMPTOM and not a stand alone condition.

If you have OCD, you have 'high anxiety'... inappropriate, yes, an illness, no! That high anxiety is causing a change in thought and reasoning due to hormonal changes caused by the Fight or Flight response.

Is this mental illness?
No... it’s a perfectly normal but massively embellished version of NORMAL thoughts.

If you felt happy all the time and went around laughing... people would think
you were a little odd perhaps, but ILL, NO!
So what's the difference?
You have heightened fear... what's the difference between that and
heightened happiness? NOTHING.

They are both human emotions... both inappropriate and yet happiness isn't
feared, so the 'symptoms' are ignored or enjoyed. Fear carries with it,
unpleasant 'symptoms'... but why are they any more 'serious' than the happy
symptoms? See where I am going with this?

When you fall in love... a natural and logical reaction, yes?
BUT, love is a form of what you would call OCD.. think about it! Obsessive,
yes, compulsive, yes... disorder, NO! But it carries all the traits of OCD!
So are we mentally ill when we are in love? No, no more than we are
mentally or physically ill when we have obsessions and compulsions. OCD -
pleasant, no. Illness, no. Curable, yes. With meds? NO!
.

OCD is NOT a mental illness, it is a behavioral condition, there is
a very BIG difference. Mental illnesses are clinical conditions which have a 'biological' basis (caused by chemical imbalance), anxiety disorders are caused by a 'resetting' of the'baseline' anxiety level; this happens through reinforcing the anxiety disorder by repetitive anxious behavior. There is NO other cause for OCD except that it is symptoms produced by high anxiety disorders, FACT!
