What is the difference between an obsession versus a compulsion?Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts or images that cause anxiety, fear, or disgust.
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform in response to obsessive thoughts or to neutralize their anxiety.
Anyone can experience unwanted thoughts, or fear or anxiety. Those are normal parts of life.
What distinguishes OCD is the way that it interferes with a person's daily life.
The obsessions and compulsions can become
so excessive & time-consuming that a person's quality of life suffers.
It's so important to have an accurate understanding of OCD, so that we don't perpetuate misconceptions, but instead can provide compassionate support to those who struggle with OCD.
