Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA: Subjects will be screened for history of significant medical and non-OCD-related neuropsychiatric illnesses by means of a phone screening and interview with a trained screener (nurse, physician, social worker or psychologist). Each patient and healthy volunteer entered into the study must be free of significant medical or psychiatric illness and not taking any medications with neurological or psychotropic effects. The presence of neurological abnormalities will not be an exclusionary criterion because of the existence of lesional OCD & OCD spectrum disorders that may co-exist with neurological disorders. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: The only exclusionary criteria for this study are subjects who have a pacemaker, an implanted medication pump, a metal plate in the skull, metal objects inside the eye or skull (for example, after brain surgery or a shrapnel wound) or any recent (less than 3 months) brain lesions. Subjects under 18 years of age will be excluded.
