OCD

OBSESSIONS
Do thought/images/impulses come into your mind over and over again?
Can you describe them to me?
How do they make you feel (seem senseless/cause distress)?
How often do you have them?
Do you try to resist them?
Where do you think these thoughts come from (own thought/alien force)?
What do you do to relieve your distress because of these thoughts?

COMPULSIONS
Do you perform repetitive acts which you feel compelled to do?
Can you descirbe what you do?
Tell me what happens - when/why/how often?
What compels you to carry out these acts (obsessions)?
How do they make you feel (anxiety/pointless)?
What do you think would happen if you did not perform the act?
Are you able to resist? For how long? How does this make you feel?
