What are some of the lesser known forms of OCD that people often don't recognize in themselves?
5:08
I mean, POCD is a big one.

I think that, you know, fear of being a pedophile is one that is so prolific and very common within the OCD experience, but not one people necessarily talk about because of the taboo and how terrifying it is to even think about.
5:22
A lot of religious themes as well.
5:23
I think a lot of people within religious circles... don't translate it as OCD.
5:29
And I think that's because religion can sometimes be a barrier to mental health.
5:32
So that people miss that experience of what they're going through and those intrusive thoughts they're going through being related to a medical condition like OCD.

Do you think social media, dating apps, and modern self-help culture accidentally fuel OCD?
