Ocd leads brain & health problems ?
I have been facing OCD since few Years.
1) ocd leads to any brain damage or health issues In future?
2) does it leads to any serious health issues?
3) Is ocd dangerous?
Repetitive compulsions cause any health issues in brain and leads to serious problems?
Please clarify sir/madam
OCD will not cause any significant structural neurological (brain) damage, but health related issues secondary to OCD like anxiety ,depression ,skin problems(in hand washers) thease inturn increases the risk for medical comorbidities diabetis, hypertension etc..
But OCD is completly a curable illness with medications and psychotherapy .. not a big issue.. consult good psychiatrist...take proper treatment
