Is your child overwhelmed by guilt or anxiety after hearing someone curse, gossip, or break a rule? Do they feel responsible for what others do—even when it has nothing to do with them? This could be a sign of moral OCD, a type of OCD that creates distressing intrusive thoughts tied to morality, ethics, and being “good.”
OCD has many flavors and subtypes. One subtype that can cause a tremendous amount of guilt and overwhelm is responsibility OCD, which is similar to Harm OCD. When our kids have responsibility OCD they get stuck on the concern that their actions, or inactions, can directly cause harm in other people.
