Overview

Risk factors for obsessive compulsive disorder include a positive family history, pregnancy, certain infections, and stressful life events.

Risk Factors

Genetic Predisposition[1]

  • Research suggests that the condition tends to run in families. A person who has OCD has a 25% chance of having a blood relative who has it. One study found that children inherit OCD symptoms in 45%-60% of cases, while adults inherit the symptoms in 27%-47% of cases.
  • People with first-degree relatives who have OCD, especially if the first-degree relative developed OCD as a child or teen, are at a higher risk for OCD.

===Genetic Factors===[1]

  • Presence of other mental or neurologic conditions, such as:
  • Pregnancy or post-partum period: OCD symptoms may worsen during, and immediately after pregnancy. In this case, fluctuating hormones can trigger symptoms. Postpartum OCD is characterized by disturbing thoughts and compulsions regarding the baby’s well-being.

===Environment===[1]

  • Experiencing childhood physical or sexual abuse.
  • Experiencing a stressful event (major life changes, such as loss of a loved one, divorce, relationship difficulties, problems in school, or abuse).
  • Experiencing a traumatic event.

===Brain Structure and Functioning===[1]

  • Experiencing childhood behavioral inhibition.
  • Experiencing higher negative emotionality.
