Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrusive, irrational and unwanted thoughts are a characteristic symptom of obsessions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Irrational beliefs may contribute to anxiety, but they are not necessarily intrusive or unwanted. Generalized anxiety refers to a persistent state of excessive worry and fear that is not necessarily centered on specific intrusive thoughts. Compulsions refer to repetitive behaviors or mental acts that are performed in response to the obsessions, so they are not the same as the intrusive thoughts themselves.
