Does OCD develop overtime?

Or are some people born with it? What triggers it?

Thank you :)

  • I think it will take its own time. It comes sometime on its own because of bad time or bad luck. Sometime for few people it is self-imposed or self-created problem. And it may come to few people because of other peoples inducements like harassment or victimization..

  • OCD is believed in most cases to develop in adolesence, though the symptoms often won't become apparent until the teenage or early-adult years, and even much later in some people.

    There is still debate about what causes OCD, but what triggers varies among people. It can be for example a sustained period of increased stress (eg. Exam preparations, ongoing relationship problems), depression, or a significant change or upheaval in lifestyle (eg. Moving away from home to college)

    And yes, it does develop over time, and often increases in intensity. The longer the underlying assumptions are believed to be true by the person, the more ingrained they will become in their thought patterns. However, this can be addressed by seeking treatment.
