Just as a side note I know how being gay can be extrordinarily difficult. I am gay and still havn't worked up the courage to come out of the closet - it is really not an option in my hometown - that is if I want to remain a member of society.
Anyhow, life events can produce structural brain changes as well as biochemical ones. Remember, there are all sorts of structural brain changes that occur during puberty. As a side note, if the SSRI's ever worked for me it was when they erradicated by sexual desire. Thats the only way I didn't feel the pain of my sexual orientation.
I am not saying that OCD isn't a bichemical disorder, I am only saying there is no research that has identified any brain chemical that appears responsible for OCD.
