ABNORMAL BRAIN ACTIVITY:
When writing my report, one of the first theories of the cause of OCD I wrote about is abnormal brain activity. |

This diagram shows the different lobes of the brain. Scientists have revealed that patients with OCD can have hyperactivity in the orbital frontal cortex, found in the frontal love, and the anterior cingulate cortex.
Both these regions are believed to be responsible for personality and behaviour, therefore, it makes sense to infer that an abnormality in these regions leads to a problem with the patient's personality or behaviour, consequently leading to the expression of the symptoms of OCD.
