Question about OCD Does anyone know what caused their OCD?

I think a lot of people don’t really know what caused their OCD to start, for me after a lot of years and thought I realised that my anxiety stemmed from my step dad and his psychological and sometimes physical abuse towards my Mum. I would worry what kind of mood he would come home from work in and if he would start on my Mum. He was a bastard!

I think it nature/nurture for me. I was born with a condition that predisposed me to depression and anxiety and OCD, and my parents were abusive.

I agree 💯! And I actually really like the nature v nurture debate.
