With due respect, I must say that people are not the same as mice. We are intelligent, self-aware, spiritual beings, creations of God, and the power of our free will is enormous, given to us by God. Free will is touted elsewhere in religion and philosophy as the best thing AND the worst thing in the world. Our free will is touted as more important than anything else..... even leading us to eternal salvation or damnation. I happen to agree that human free will is probably the most powerful force on Earth. So I don't think that any protein or chemical that is out of balance in our bodies, can override our free will. It can influence our free will, but we, as intelligent spiritual souls with free will, always have the final say about how we behave.
But religous doctrine is conflicted and far too simplistic about this. You can't have it both ways. Either we are held ultimately responsible for our own behavior, as in eternal salvation or damnation, or we are not. Where is the truth? Probably somewhere between the extremes. Cheers

I wonder if these is for all types of OCD. There was a study done where a maintenance dose of antibiotics showed remarkable improvement of symptoms. I saw it on PBS quite a while ago.

Very interesting? There was a time in my life that I could have used some extra SPRED2.
