One of the less well understood areas of OCD is the area of morbid obsessions. This category includes thoughts of killing or injuring others, of having death or injury inflicted on one’s self or loved ones, of acting sexually in ways that are either unnatural to the person or against society’s norms, or finally, thoughts of acting inappropriately in public (e.g. taking off one’s clothes, shouting obscenities, making rude gestures, etc.).
