Symptom #3: Unwanted Violent Thoughts
Another form of invasive thought that often strikes people with OCD are violent thoughts. These thoughts can strike randomly and often interfere with a patient’s ability to focus.
Experiencing violent thoughts in no way means that the person is actually violent. In fact, the type of invasive thoughts a person with OCD experiences often reflect what they don’t like, so if you’re experiencing violent thoughts that you want to go away, don’t worry – you’re not a psychopath.
