Scrupulosity
Scrupulosity is a common and treatable form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder involving persistant, disturbing thoughts about religious devotion or observances, morality, or sin. Learn more about scrupulosity in a new article by psychotherapist Laurie Krauth, MA.
People with scrupulosity experience persistent, disturbing thoughts about sin, punishment, or religious or moral failings. Many perform compulsions in the form of excessive or repetitive religious observances, frequently ask for reassurance from religious advisors, and even avoid places of worship because they trigger obsessions. “Scrupulosity: Blackmailed by OCD in the Name of God” by Laurie Krauth, MA explains the symptoms and treatment of this form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
