Could anyone paraphrase this?

i know it's alot but i am content with even just one paragraph.

....

It has been estimated that approximately 15% of people with OCD also have schizophrenia. Both OCD and schizophrenia appear to affect both males and females equally, and both disorders begin around the end of adolescence. Many people who develop both schizophrenia and OCD have reported that their OCD symptoms started first.
Although dysfunction of the serotonin system is thought to be a primary factor in each, a genetic link between OCD and schizophrenia has yet to be established. It should also be noted that it has been discovered that treatment of schizophrenia with atypical antipsychotics can cause the emergence of OCD symptoms.
....

(this must not include 'you' )
Exposure and response prevention involves repeated exposure to the source of your obsession. Then you are asked to refrain (hold back) from the compulsive behavior you’d usually perform to reduce your anxiety. For example, if you are a compulsive hand washer, you might be asked to touch the door handle in a public restroom and then be prevented from washing. As you sit with the anxiety, the urge to wash yourETC hands will gradually begin to go away on its own. In this way, you learn that you don’t need the ritual to get rid of your anxiety—that you have some control over your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

....

An anxiety disorder in which a person experiences recurrent unwanted thoughts or rituals that the individual cannot control. A person who has OCD may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals such as hand washing or checking.
.....
For some OCD sufferers, avoiding stressful situations is enough to keep their OCD under control (particularly in association with medication). It makes sense to avoid certain situations as an anti stress device to try to decrease the intensity of symptoms. This is a good idea in theory, particularly if your OCD is intensified by particular situations.

thanks in advance.
