Behavioral Factors for OCD
According to learning theory, obsessions are conditioned stimuli. When a relatively neutral stimulus is coupled with an anxiety-provoking one, through conditioning it will produce anxiety, even when presented alone. Compulsions reduce anxiety and the patient repeats and learns them in order to avoid anxiety. Avoidance strategies are learned and become fixed, eventually becoming a source of disability.
