western medicine and about OCD

[Guest guest]

As a life time sufferer with OCD amd finally getting over it after YEARS, I feel

that I have an idea of what OCD is and WEstern medicine doesn't understand. not

only is it a brain that gets stuck, it is literally energy that is stuck in the

body and has nowhere to go, so it goes into these rituals, stuck thoughts etc. I

would not suggest this if I didn't suffer from it myself for years. I tried many

meds and none of them made a dent. Western medicine is pretty clueless about

energy and healing. Of course as a mother of a child with OCD its is ridiculous

for me to expect my child to do what I've done to cure myself- which is dancing

class, zumba every day. But Chinese medicine understands the nature of energy or

chi. I am a different person because of the dancing. I was stuck in ocd thoughts

and severe fear. SO I think there has to be a new approach to ocd but it

involves a more well rounded approach. Energy is real and stuck energy = a stuck

brain or changes in brain chemistry. ANy thoughts? it runs in my family and my

father has it too. I thank god that I am out of the place I had been in for

years. and pray my daughter can too. It's so painful for me to see her with

this. Even CBT didn't work that well for me, though it can for others.
