"Because obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is fundamentally a neurobiological malfunction of the basal ganglia and serotonin pathways, using psychological therapies is akin to treating a physical fracture with positive self-talk."
With reference to this statement, use your knowledge of explanations and treatments for a disorder other than schizophrenia to assess the effectiveness of psychological treatments compared to biological treatments.
