OCD
The Neurobiological Roots of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

With an understanding of the orbitofrontal cortex/striatum/amygdala/thalamus loop, and associated neurochemical actions, the therapist is armed with vital information to better manage OCD with a view to shift certain neural pathways toward healthy patterns.
