What does the OCD brain look like?

I find it's always important to remember that living with OCD means that there is some type of malfunctioning going on in the brain. This can help you attribute the disorder to simply that, a disorder and can help with recovery. I've found some interesting research on what goes on inside the OCD mind: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/an-inner-look-into-the-minds-and-brains-of-people-with-ocd1/, https://blog.treatmyocd.com/the-ocd-brain-possible-causes-of-obsessive-compulsive-disorder-46a4c68b78d1

Hopefully it can help some sufferers out there break out of the daily battle inside their minds. Science often can help in my opinion..

Thanks for this article Movietime, it is very interesting. I wish they would not use mice though for their experiments but humans instead.
