OCD and Phobia

Phobias are distinguished from OCD by the absence of a relation between the phobic objects and the obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors. The fears in OCD often involve harm to others rather than harm to oneself. In addition, the OCD patient when ‘‘phobic’’ is usually afraid of a stimulus that is unavoidable (i.e. virus, germs or dirt) as opposed to the classic phobic objects, like tunnels, bridges or crowds.
