Answers:
CT scans will only reveal non-trivial physical changes in the brain (like lesions, tumours, etc)!. No-one really knows what's behind OCD, but no CT scan will be able to show things like neurotransmitter imbalances or deficiencies (which is why depression doesn't show up on a scan) or differences in how genes are expressed and what proteins they produce!.

People aren't really clear on what causes tinnitus either, but it's probably some neural defect in the ear and/or auditory nerves!. I don't think anyone's suggested it arises in *response* to anxiety or panic!. (Nor does OCD typically give rise to panic attacks - in fact the rituals and routines of OCD in part are done precisely to avoid panic!.)

So I think that's a no and a no!. 8-) Interesting questions though!Www@Answer-Health@Com
