Extract

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurological Anxiety Disorder that is
caused by an imbalance of Serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which is a
chemical that acts as a messenger to the brain between the Orbital Cortex (the front of
the brain) and the Basal Ganglia (deeper folds of the brain). When the Serotonin levels
are imbalanced, the messages that are received from one part of the brain to the other
interfere, resulting in repetitive "worrying and anxious thoughts" over and over.
