Neuromechanism in producing obsessions and compulsions: etiology and management criteria

Abstract

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurobehavioral disease characterized by repeated Obsessions and Compulsions leading to severe behavioural changes. Sometimes general public and even health care professionals tend to disregard OCD symptoms with Anxiety disorder. This disorder is long-term and often is unnoticed and under-diagnosed which leads to poor therapy and deprived therapeutic outcomes. Developing a patient-centred care and therapy requires major information such as Medical History, Genetic Factors, etiology and Pathophysiology of the disease, Demographic factors, Lab values and much more, in which etiology and pathophysiology plays an essential character. Keeping all these things in mind, the current review deals with the explained version of etiology and pathology of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder to provide further unobserved information and up-to-date version in supplying necessary details about OCD for the improvement of conventional and appropriate drug-therapy regimen.
