He was the one who gave information about Soprano star Gandolfini. He said his death was brought about by overeating, and that was based on a list of foods that he had ordered while staying in a hotel in Italy. I don't have that list handy but it was an enormous amount of food.
I'm not a big fan of Dr. Kronhaus because, like Dr. Oz, he advertises products on his show. In addition to that he runs advertisements for a heart scanning service that he provides. I just happen to think that whenever there's a profit motive involved the information provided may not always be unbiased. But that doesn't mean he's not a good doctor.
He's a heart doctor and when it comes to talking about Parkinson's Disease, he had nothing to gain financially by giving the information he gave. He simply reads health and medical journals and brings the latest information to his listeners.
What he said about Parkinson's did NOT exclude other possible causes. And the information that he gives is not intended to condemn anyone, it's given so that we may learn and hopefully prevent more of it from happening in the future.

The onset of Parkinson's can be caused by drugs and alcohol but aging and genetics are common factors and the exact cause has really never been determined. HOWEVER, when a person perseverates on the same subject or fixates on the same problem, that can be OCD.
One of the causes of OCD is a drop of serotonin to the brain. Medications like Zoloft can help that. Usually the person who has OCD can't see the difference but the people around them can. It takes about six weeks for the symptoms to become milder.
