OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder happens when the serotonin levels in your brain are imbalanced for some reason. If they are imbalanced, they would usually lead to some sort of emotional manifestations in the person, say for example, mood swings and what not. Scientists and specialists deem that this chemical is the sole factor contributory to a person's development of anxieties and thus OCD. As anxiety besets the person, he or she would naturally do things he or she deems necessary to be done in order to deal with the anxiety and thus you have compulsions. The condition will further worsen cementing the person to his or her condition.
Obsessions is a very suppositious phenomenon behaviour and it entails responses or a kind of thinking like "If I do these action (or not do it), then I will be in a safer position". While it is true that each time you comply to your obsessions you are also able to put it off, however this doesn't come permanently. This is merely a remedial answer to your obsessions and that sooner or later your obsessions will come back with even worse returns. When things go worse, then most likely undergoing therapy will become more difficult as the condition worsens. It gets worsen for as you cater to your obsessions the more you are becoming cemented with the condition making it impossible for you to get in the long run. In some cases, people with obsessions loss their sanities. This is why obsessions should not be catered to or tolerated in anyway and instead it should be countered and challenged.
Stress is another contributory factor to anxiety and thus OCD. A massive amount of stress could definitely change the balances of sanity's scale and will lead you to become prone to any OCD thoughts.
