If OCD intrusive thoughts doesnt get treated?.....?

Question

what is the worst that can happen?

i need answers and yeah, sensible answers.

Answer 1

Well, you'd obviously just get worse.

I personally have never been treated for OCD but I know I have it because I can get physically sick if I forget to do something.  My 3 year old daughter's the same way.

Mine is getting more complex.  Every few weeks I find another thing that I add to my compulsions.  The biggest one I've had that's been around for over 10 years is an eye roll that actually hurts like h**l, but I just keep doing it because I have to.  

If you have any compulsions I would recommend getting checked out because they're a ******.  And they never go away.  And they never get better.

Answer 2

i don't know what OCD is. however, you are reaching out to people, hoping to find an answer or answers. And that alone is treatment in its self. try not to focus on what might happen, instead try focusing on the possitive out come.

Answer 3

I have huge rage issues with my children which my psychiatrist thinks might be a manifestation of untreated OCD intrusive thoughts.  I stay home with my kids and I get angry that I have to take care of their constant needs instead of getting to focus on my obsessive thoughts.  So I rage out on them - definitely a bad result.
