Description

When families first hear their child has OCD, many wonder if they somehow caused it. Dr. Evelyn Stewart has spent her career studying those fears — and the science tells a different story. She explains how research with families and twins shows that genes play a significant role, especially when OCD begins in childhood. Dr. Stewart also shares how environment and stress can act like switches, turning genetic risk “on” or “off.” This interview is packed with the latest research about all the links between OCD and genetics so be sure to watch til the end!
