Though everyone experiences OCD for different reasons, a number of factors can influence and bring it on. These include:

Life Events: Traumatic experiences, abuse, or childbirth can trigger OCD in some individuals.
Family History: Having a family member with OCD increases your risk.
Childhood Experiences: Growing up with strict parents or a focus on orderliness may contribute to OCD.
Anxiety: People with anxiety are more prone to intrusive thoughts, which can fuel OCD.
Personality Traits: Perfectionism and a tendency towards meticulousness may increase the risk of OCD.

OCD can often be triggered during times of stress or difficulty, and our team of psychologists in York can help you to overcome your difficulties using a variety of different therapy approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other approaches.
