What are some common OCD themes you've noticed?

Hi there! That's a great question. Some common OCD themes include fear of contamination, perfectionism, need for symmetry, fear of harm, and unwanted sexual or aggressive thoughts. It's important to remember that OCD can latch onto any fear or uncertainty, so the themes can be quite varied. #OCD #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #mentalhealth #compulsions #intrusivethoughts
Absolutely. And it's worth noting that these themes can change over time, too. For example, someone might start out with a fear of contamination, but then develop compulsions around checking and re-checking locks due to a fear of harm. #OCD #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #mentalhealth #compulsions #intrusivethoughts
It's also important to remember that OCD is not a personality trait or a choice - it's a legitimate mental health condition that requires professional treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with OCD, I encourage you to seek help from a mental health professional. #OCD #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #mentalhealth #compulsions #intrusivethoughts
