Neurobiological Roots and Treatments of OCD and Tourette's

This chapter provides an overview of anxiety disorders, focusing on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Tourette's Syndrome. It discusses the neurobiological basis of OCD, including the neuroanatomical circuit and evidence from neuroimaging studies. The chapter also examines evolutionary perspectives on OCD and explores therapies for OCD, such as psychopharmacological and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Additionally, it delves into the neurobiological roots of Tourette's Syndrome, particularly the role of the basal ganglia and associated neurochemistry. The chapter concludes with an overview of treatment options for Tourette's Syndrome, including psychopharmacological therapy and behavioral and cognitive strategies.
