Most new parents will experience what society has labeled as “unwanted” intrusive thoughts or images about harm coming to their baby, “What if I drop the baby?” or “Is the baby breathing!” These thoughts can lead to intense distress, feelings of guilt, sadness and even grief. For some parents, these types of thoughts can be difficult to “shake off” and are often dealt with through safety behaviors and rituals in an attempt to ameliorate the distress they induce.
Objectives
- Define Perinatal OCD
- Learn to distinguish the expected intrusive thoughts in parenthood from a Postpartum OCD diagnosis
- Explore Perinatal OCD when compared to other differential diagnoses
- Discuss treatment strategies for Perinatal OCD, such as CBT, ERP and ACT
