Frequently Asked Questions

Does having a violent, taboo, or disturbing intrusive thought mean I secretly want to act on it?

No. In clinical psychology, intrusive thoughts are known as ego-dystonic: your extreme terror and guilt prove they directly contradict your genuine moral values. OCD latches onto whatever you cherish most.
