The exact cause of Obsessional Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is unknown, but it is probably caused by a combination of factors.
OCD may be due to a lack of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) serotonin. Low levels of serotonin are thought to be closely related to OCD.

OCD tends to run in families. Research suggests that multiple genes are involved, or it may be due to copying the OCD behaviour of another family member.
Personality type may also be a factor - for example, perfectionists seem to be more prone to developing OCD.

Basal ganglia are involved in routine behaviors, like grooming, and the frontal lobes in organizing behaviors and in planning. The cingulum consists of fibrous bands that assist in communicating the brain
