These things are certainly over-diagnosed, and I understand how in these times when every neat freak is diagnosed with OCD, you'd doubt it even exists, but my brother isn't a mild case. Meds and therapy didn't work, and I agree the meds probably did more harm than good. All the King's men and All the King's horses... We just can't fix broken minds.
