How OCD Can Hijack Your Faith: Understanding Scrupulosity Subtype | Get to know OCD Ep 32

In this episode of Get to Know OCD, we dive deep into the complexities of scrupulosity, a form of OCD that intertwines with one’s values, morals, or religious beliefs. Featuring Dr. Jed Siev, a licensed clinical psychologist and faculty member at Swarthmore College, this discussion sheds light on how OCD latches onto the things we care about most — faith, morality, or even our natural desire to be a “good” person. Drawing from his extensive research and clinical experience, Dr. Siev unpacks how scrupulosity manifests in different faiths, from Jewish rituals to Christian doctrines. Learn how to differentiate between genuine faith practices and OCD-driven rituals, and discover ways to reclaim a values-driven life.
