1.What above mentioned tablets do?
2.Is this lazyness and above mentioned problems are due to medications?
3.How this not taking bath and brush is irrelevant thing in ocd or its a different mental illness?
4.is ocd herridetory?.
Thnx
These medications improve the serotonin levels in brain which is decreased in OCD. Less likely that medications r contributing to laziness as every drug is in minimum effective dose, still discuss it with ur psychiatrist. There is a component of heredity in OCD but not entirely. Best wishes for speedy recovery!!
