Well what actually are some reasons people can have ocd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCD: The cause of ocd is likely a combination of biological and psychological factors. Serotonin is implicated in ocd, and we also see ocd running in families. Sometimes people are raised in homes with a lot of stress, with high standards and anxiety.
