Psychiatric illnesses occur due to bio-psycho-social reasons. Biological is your brain neurons and functioning, psychological are the factors during your developmental stage and sociological are the external environment/ people/ job/ stress u r exposed to. So it is multifactorial for various disorders, each contributing in varying proportion. For OCD, there is altered serotonergic ( a neurotransmitter) transmission in certain brain areas as the main reason.
