Have u all heard of it? Cant recall what the acronym means. (but the idea that OCD symtoms can be set forth by strep throat? That it tweaks something in the brain that affects the "stop" part of the brain resulting in compulsions?) what do you all think of it?

ABC News covered it recently--others too, no doubt, but that's where I first heard it. When I look for more about it I found this article, "How Strep Triggers Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – New Clues," from the National Institute of Mental Health. http://www.nimh.nih.gov/science-news...ew-clues.shtml

Hope that helps.
