There’s no single, universal answer to what causes OCD disorder. For some, it’s largely genetic. For others, it’s rooted in a tough childhood, a traumatic event, or even societal pressure. Sometimes, there’s no clear cause at all—and that’s okay.
What we do know is that OCD is treatable. And understanding your own “why” can make treatment feel less like a mystery and more like a path back to peace.
Whether your symptoms started suddenly or have been with you since childhood, your experience is valid. It’s not your fault—and it’s never too late to get help.
