Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurological disorder; it’s an anxiety disorder that consists of a series of obsessions followed by compulsions. While the exact causes of OCD are not completely clear, there are a variety of studies surrounding the role of genetic factors in the development of OCD. OCD is a complex neurological disorder, and there are a combination of genetic factors and variables that contribute to the disorder, from family history of first-degree relatives, to the timing of the onset of OCD, to environmental risk factors.
While the genetics of OCD are still being researched heavily, there are effective treatment solutions for those who are struggling with living with OCD. AMFM Mental Health Treatment has over a decade of experience treating individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder, other anxiety disorders, or comorbidity of other related disorders. If you or a loved one are interested in treating OCD, call us today to learn more about our effective mental health treatment.
There are currently many genetic studies out there regarding the causes of OCD, the development of OCD, and the epidemiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been seen to run in families and genetics help to understand its heritability.1 Twin and family studies as well as newer population-based approaches provide powerful insights into the substantial heritability in OCD and related disorders, supporting a significant genetic contribution to these disorders.2 Older studies which focused on establishing the familial nature of OCD, including its various dimensions of symptoms, as well as recent findings from studies using both the candidate gene approach and genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach.3
Another first-degree relative affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) in childhood is an important risk factor for developing the disorder in adulthood.4 Although the prevalence of OC symptoms and of OCD are not different for boys and girls, there may be gender differences in the symptom types.5 However, these studies have not conclusively defined or mapped out all brain functions involved in the onset of OCD, or its prevalence in family units.

Obsessions are defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) with the following criteria:
Some common obsessive thoughts include fears of contamination or security, a need for symmetry or order, harm to oneself or others, or intrusive thoughts surrounding religion, sex, aggression or violence.
Compulsions, meanwhile, are defined by the DSM-5 through the following criteria:
Common compulsions include checking rituals, repetitive behaviors like hand-washing, locking doors, rumination, or other time-consuming rituals. These repetitive behaviors can disrupt the flow of an individual’s daily life. If you or a loved one are looking to control your obsessive-compulsive disorder, don’t hesitate to reach out today.

Mental health therapy is a component of treatment programs that includes structured interventions focused on addressing emotional, behavioral, and psychological symptoms. Therapy options are available at varying levels of care, to accommodate the range of symptom severity commonly seen with behavioral disorders. Psychotherapy can help you develop the coping skills you need to effectively cope with and manage your symptoms.
Therapy is available in individual settings, group settings, and support groups. Each of these has its advantages and uses. Common therapeutic approaches used in therapy sessions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
For some, therapy can be most impactful when it is supplemented with psychiatric care and medication management services. Depending on your needs and the level of care you receive, therapy can occur as short-term crisis service intervention to long-term residential care. If you’d like to connect with us or access a crisis lifeline, call us today.AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers a combination of holistic mental health services and evidence-based therapies like the following:
Individual therapy takes place in a one on one setting with a licensed professional, usually consisting of a combination of dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, in which a person can talk through his or her individual struggles. Individual therapy and mental health care is one of the most crucial steps for those facing mental health challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.
Family therapy may be used when a loved one’s mental health symptoms are affecting others. This can increase a family members’ understanding of anxiety and talk about how to support each other, providing family members with support groups. Family therapy sessions can improve communication patterns, focus on problem-solving, address unresolved conflicts, and increase the sense of understanding among one another.
Holistic Therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection, approaching the whole person when it comes to mental health treatment, rather than addressing a singular symptom or challenge at a time. By healing the whole person–encouraging balance and well-being for well-rounded growth, holistic therapy can build health habits that last a lifetime.
Exposure and Response Prevention therapy is a type of behavioral therapy used to treat OCD. A licensed mental health professional will help expose an individual to practice confronting the stimuli that provoke obsessions and compulsions. Then, the individual will practice making a new choice to avoid a compulsive behavior.
TMS Therapy is a type of therapy that uses magnetic pulses to treat depression by stimulating certain areas of the brain. This is a noninvasive method of treatment that some mental health programs offer for treatment of depression, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
