Living in less sunny areas? It could lead to OCD.According to a new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York, living at higher latitudes, where there is also less sunlight, could result in a higher prevalence rate of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Professor of psychology at Binghamton University, Meredith Coles, said, “The results of this project are exciting because they provide additional evidence for a new way of thinking about OCD.” To compile data, Coles and her research team read through many papers that addressed OCD prevalence rates in certain places and then recorded the latitudes of each location.
Individuals with OCD commonly reported not being able to fall asleep until later than desired. (ANI
