A member asked:

If i am pregnant and have ocd, does my ocd transfer to my unborn child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Marilynn Frederiksen answered

OCD: Ocd usually has a genetic factor. However, it is not always a straight forward association. There are probably other factors that play a role in development of ocd.
