Is OCD about control?

Показать описание

Yes and no. Often people say OCD shows up because a person needs to feel in control. That is half the story. OCD starts with a glitch in the circuitry between the basal ganglia and the prefrontal cortex. That glitch causes our brain to misfire and for us to receive faulty messaging. Compulsions are done to get a sense of control over this faulty message. But, there is a genetic component to OCD. For more neuroscience behind OCD check out @ocdandthebrain - love that account!
