When OCD Makes You Fear Yourself: Understanding Your Intrusive Thoughts


Listen Later

OCD can distort reality, making intrusive thoughts about self-harm or suicide feel overwhelming and urgent. But there is a critical difference between suicidal OCD and true intent. In this important video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains how OCD fuels fear, why compulsions take hold, and the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment.

 All thoughts of suicide or self-harm should be taken seriously. If you or someone you know has reported thoughts of self-harm, please call 911 or contact your local emergency room number immediately. In the United States, you may also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text the Crisis Text Line. This line is available to you all day, every day.
