Hi Mama, The short answer is: lots of things. We believe that OCD, like many other mental health conditions, is a result of multiple different reasons. Unfortunately, it's not something we can do a blood or gene test for, and there's no pill or procedure that cures it. Luckily, we have the best treatment option in the form of ERP Therapy.
