Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by features known as obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions refer to intrusive thoughts, mental images or urges that compel an individual to perform specific actions. Although these obsessions can vary extensively, they often include fear of illness or contamination; a desire for symmetry or getting things "just right;" or intrusive thoughts involving religion, sex, or aggression. On the other hand,true text Compulsions involve repetitive performance beholden certain behaviors such checking and verifying,washing,counting,arranging ,acting out specific routines,and seeking assurance.These acts aim at relieving anxiety ((comma needed)) rather than serving pleasure like gambling,eating hurriedly,kleptomania etc

Although almost everybody experiences obsessive feelings and compulsive behaviors at times or in specific situations, with OCD they last for more than an hour each day and lead to issues at work, school, or socially. Those individuals suffering from OCD typically feel anxiety and other distress due to their need of catering towards their obsessions or compulsions.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe psychiatric illness that affects around 2% of both children and adults' populations. Family aggregation studies have demonstrated OCD's familial nature, while twin studies show that its heredity partly results from genetic factors.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be hereditary, yet it does not necessarily mean that you will acquire the condition if a family member has it. Environmental factors also significantly contribute to its development, and both genetic predisposition and environmental influences play an interactive role in determining whether or not you may develop OCD at some point. Continue reading to discover more about how genes might affect your chances of developing OCD and how these elements could interact with various risks present in your surroundings.

SNP polymorphisms related to the topic Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD):

rs890Glutamate receptor gene (GRIN2B) associated with reduced glutamatergic concentration in the anterior cingulate gyrus in obsessive-compulsive disorder in children.
rs4680The study showed a 10% increase in total plasma homocysteine (tHcy)
rs6265Increased risk of ADHD or depression. Slightly faster decline in mental abilities in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The presence of this BDNF polymorphism is associated with differences in brain motor system functioning, altered short-term plasticity, and greater error in short-term motor learning.

rs25531The serotonin transporter rs25531 polymorphism is associated with neuroticism, depression, OCD, ADHD and autism spectrum disorder.
rs25532Each C rs25532 allele accounts for increased serotonin transporter function and is pathogenetically associated with OCD.
