Although genetic factors are important, no single \"OCD gene\" has been identified.<\/p><p>At the same time, other scientific findings indicate that in OCD there is impaired communication between the anterior part of the brain and deeper brain structures. According to Dr. Carol Mathews, Director of the Center for OCD, Anxiety and Related Disorders (COARD), and the Interim Director for the UF Health Center for Neurodevelopment for Department (CAN) of Psychiatry at the University of Florida who recently co-led a genetic study:<\/p><p>\"<em>\"Over time, we've come to realize that OCD is not a disease of a single gene or specific brain region, but rather it's a disease of circuits <\/em><em>and hundreds of genes, which together contribute to the development of<\/em>the disorder.\" (<a href=\"https:\/\/ufhealth.org\/news\/2025\/worldwide-ocd-genetics-study-offers-clues-for-higher-risk\">UF Health, 2025<\/a> ).<\/p><p>Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used in the treatment of OCD. However, the view that OCD is solely due to a dysfunction of this neurotransmitter or of others is now considered outdated and overly simplistic (International OCD Foundation).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ed8694 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ed8694\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Environmental Factors<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a29e36e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a29e36e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Beyond genetic influences, environmental factors play a significant role in the onset and course of OCD.
