There is a belief that having OCD means that you like things clean, tidy, and organized. In reality, OCD can be a debilitating mental health disorder that leaves those affected trapped in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions.

Perinatal OCD is a mental health condition characterized by repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and irrational, excessive urges to do certain actions (compulsions). It is estimated that 7.8% of pregnant individuals and 16.9 % of postpartum individuals, and some partners, will experience Perinatal OCD.

Repetitive, intrusive images and thoughts are very frightening and can feel like they come “out of the blue.” Research has shown that these images are anxious in nature, not delusional, and have a very low risk of being acted upon. It is far more likely that the parent experiencing symptoms may take steps to avoid triggers and what they fear is potential harm to the baby.

Perinatal OCD is treatable, and help is available. You do not need a diagnosis to reach out for help. For help resources, visit https://loom.ly/Ax0CXp0.
