What is Understanding OCD Pathophysiology about?
The lecture notes on OCD highlight the pathophysiology involving dysfunction in CSTC circuits, particularly in the orbitofrontal cortex and caudate nucleus, with serotonin transmission playing a role. The prevalence of OCD is approximately 2-3%, with onset usually occurring in adolescence or early adulthood and an equal gender distribution in adults, though more males are affected in childhood onset. A graphical overview is also included to illustrate these points.
