What causes OCD?

The exact cause of OCD is not fully understood, but research suggests it may involve a combination of:
Genetic factors – family history of OCD or anxiety disorders
Brain chemistry – imbalances in serotonin and other neurotransmitters
Cognitive patterns – tendencies toward over-responsibility or perfectionism
Environmental triggers – stressful life events or ongoing stress
In Australia, early recognition and treatment can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
