OCD: Biological Connection

Number of Pages 5

5 pages in length. Mental disorders span quite a wide area with regard to cause; while many are more accessible to obvious reasons (post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, etc.), others have underlying causes that are not always immediately discovered. The notion of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) having anything to do with biological inciters has long been considered as a possibility but no definitive verification had yet surfaced until a residual complication of strep throat caused a child to develop a condition that compelled him to display obsessive-compulsive behavior. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
