Are These Thoughts OCD — Or Something Else?


Listen Later

When intrusive thoughts or strange sensations start taking over, a lot of people with OCD fear the worst — what if it’s not OCD at all? What if it’s something like psychosis or schizophrenia? In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains the critical differences between OCD, delusions, and hallucinations, why the fear of “what if it’s not OCD” is so common, and how real insight plays a major role in telling them apart. If you’ve ever doubted your diagnosis, this breakdown will help you understand what’s really going on.
