Gene for obsessive behaviour?


Recommended Posts

Hi Stephen :censored:

That article is quite interesting...no-one in my family except me has OCD but I do have a close family member who suffers/suffered from depression, which I think is also linked to serotonin levels in the brain.

My mum suffered from depression but also has showed signs of having a minor case of OCD. My dad is bipolar, so I definitely believe the idea about genetics.

I'm pretty sure my nan had contamination OCD - although it was a long time ago and therefore not diagnosed. My Mum has always been anxious but not to the point of OCD.

Two of the people that go to my Support Group have immediate family members who have OCD - interestingly in one case a different 'brand'.
