Love and obsessive-compulsive disorder could have a similar chemical profile:low levels of the brain chemical serotonin. Thus, love and mental illness may behard to tell apart. Somehow, I'm not surprised.

Doing novel things together triggers dopamine in the brain, stimulating feelings of attraction. So first encounters that involve a nerve-wracking activity,like riding a roller coaster, are more likely to lead people to pursuea relationship.

:) Scientifically speaking: To be madly in love might be exactly that--madness. The term "lovesick" is surprisingly accurate, claims a cover story in this month's National Geographic magazine, citing research published over the last several years. Voles, small rodents whose mating systems have been extensively studied. Some of the same brain regions and genes are thought to be involved in vole attraction and human love. (Courtesy U.S. Department of Agriculture) People experiencing romantic love have a chemical profile in their brains similar to that of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, noted the author, psychologist Lauren Slater.
