Sexual Orientation OCD (SO-OCD) is characterized by intense, unwanted thoughts and fears about one's sexual identity. Individuals grappling with SO-OCD find themselves caught in a relentless cycle of doubts and compulsions, from exhaustive online searches to constant self-questioning, all in a pursuit for absolute certainty about their sexual orientation. Dr. Kissen highlights the key aspect of SO-OCD: the intolerable nature of uncertainty that fuels the disorder.
In this enlightening video, Dr. Debra Kissen of Light On Anxiety dives into the complex world of Sexual Orientation OCD (SO-OCD), a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder that involves intense and intrusive thoughts about one's sexual orientation. 🌈
Sexual Orientation OCD, previously known as Homosexual OCD (H-OCD), manifests as distressing doubts and fears over sexual identity, leading to significant anxiety and a relentless search for certainty. Dr. Kissen sheds light on the core fears and compulsions associated with SO-OCD, explaining how the quest for absolute certainty about one’s sexual orientation can spiral into a vicious cycle of compulsions and obsessions. This cycle can dominate an individual’s life, leaving little energy for meaningful living.
Dr. Kissen emphasizes the importance of understanding and treating SO-OCD to improve quality of life and reduce the distress it causes.
