The Struggle Within: Taboo Obsessions in OCD and Their Relationship to Suicidality, Quality of Life, and Perceptions of Clinicians' Judgment

Abstract

In this study, I am examining taboo obsessions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and their relationship to suicidal ideation, quality of life, and perceptions of clinicians’ judgment. Participants are being recruited via social media platforms and are asked to complete a survey through Qualtrics. The participants are asked to provide answers to four different scales that will measure subtypes of OCD, quality of life, risk of suicidal ideations, and perceptions of clinician’s judgment. I expect to find that as taboo obsessions increase, risk of suicidality and perceptions of clinicians’ judgment will increase, while quality of life scores will decrease.
