Loss of Concentration, Attention, and Focus Due to Serotonin-Histamine Imbalance

Histamine receptors inhibits Serotonin.
An increase in Histamine inhibits Serotonin reception, synthesis, and transport.

Are OCDs not hyperfocus, then why Attention Deficiency and Loss of Consciousness?

Because our prefrontal part of the brain is responsible for our attention, patience, focus, and such executive functions, and because the prefrontal cortex is rich in Serotonin pathways and receptors, the Histamine-Serotonin imbalance and Histamine overdrive leads to slow but steady death of our prefrontal cortex.

Why OCDs become impulsive?

Because Serotonin plays an all-important role in inhibiting the limbic brain response to stressors, low Serotonin, and increased Histamine shift the stress response towards the limbic brain. This is why impulsivity is often psychological comorbidity to compulsive obsessive disorder.

Why OCD causes Allergy and Irritation?

Histamine Allergen Response Pathways
Histamine Allergen Response pathway.

The way an allergen causes IgE-meditated histamine overdrive, histamine overdrive also causes an IgE-meditated hyperallergic reaction, increasing allergic reaction. Hence allergy too becomes comorbidity of obsessive-compulsive behavior.
