Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that children who contract a streptococcal infection are at an increased risk of developing both OCD and Tourette's disorder. This is due to the fact that the infection can trigger an immune response that attacks the brain, leading to the development of these disorders. Witnessing trauma, reaching puberty, and being bullied have not been shown to directly increase the risk of developing OCD or Tourette's disorder.
