OCD Awareness Week 13th-19th October.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms often start in young adulthood but may begin in childhood. Environment and genetics could both play a part, as OCD frequently runs in families. Symptoms can be triggered by ongoing life stress, or by psychological or other trauma, but it is treatable.
