Is this just OCD instrusive thoughts?

2018-04-29 01:46:08
I am living part time with my boyfriend's son who is 18 and is diagnosed ocd intrusive thoughts. I am wondering if his diagnosis has been thoroughly explored because he has such extreme bouts. For the last four weeks he experiences up to four hours of screaming and pacing and backstepping away from the thoughts...he's actually talking to the thoughts and to people online who are not present. He even hits himself.
