Um...compulsive gambling is an OCD like behavior though, might not be formal OCD but its in that category of things.

Ive read about Luvox being used for all sorts of compulsive activities. Gambling, playing video games compulsively, people who are obsessed with weight training and getting bigger and bigger...its all compulsive behavior treatable by Luvox.
