Changing Your Mind - CBC the Nature of Things Documentary

[Kobayashi]

Wasn't too sure where to post this....

Not sure if anyone managed to watch this on CBC this week. It was a very interesting documentary on "Neuroplasticity". Specifically, they focused on OCD, PTSD and Schizophrenia. The full documentary is available for viewing via the link below. Its nice to know that there are advances in this field. The guy who wrote "brain lock" was even interviewed.

We in Canada see that notice quite a bit from US websites. So much for NAFTA.

A consolation prize for those living in the U.S. (and probably elsewhere) is this 30-minute PBS episode/webcast on OCD:

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean but if you click on the link Daniel provided it seems as though all the different episodes just go by numbers. Example Episode #107 is OCD, Episode #109 is PTSD. I didn't see any "seasons 1, 2, 3..."

I hope that is what you were asking. If not I apologize.
