How can lack of Serotonin have anything to do with OCD?

577 viewsOther

I get it it’s the good mood hormone and you can feel down when you are low on it. Makes sense how it could be the cause of depression.

But how it can be related to brain making stressful thoughts? And forcing one to do compulsions for relief?

And why when you take SSRIs and your Serotonins reach a normal level, a significant reduction of symptoms occurs? I don’t get it.

Normally when you are feeling good you aren’t stressed. So a lack of serotonin may not necessarily be the main cause but it sure would be a contributing factor
