OCD Linked to Brain Chemical Imbalance.

Researchers have discovered a neurochemical imbalance in the brains of patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, they found a disrupted balance between neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA in two specific regions of the frontal lobes. The imbalance was linked to both the severity of OCD symptoms and tendencies towards habitual behavior. This groundbreaking research could provide avenues for better treatment strategies.
