> I read a medical abstract that showed high dopamine activity in the dopamine D2 and D3 receptors in folks with OCPD. The D3 receptor is associated with compulsions.
Might the increased activity in these dopaminergic pathways actually be secondary to overactive noradrenergic activity arising from the locus ceruleus? I don't know.
Perfectionism had been a large component of my personality. I have pretty much freed myself of it through psychotherapeutics.
