Can OCD effect your memory?

We have now discovered that OCD in young people actually significantly

alters both memory and learning ability. OCD, which affects 2-3% of people
at some point during their life, involves ritualistic behavior such as
constantly checking on things, placing objects in a certain order or washing
hands repeatedly.

Can OCD affect your memory?

It seems very plausible. According to some studies, episodic memory

seems to be the kind of memory most affected in patients who've been
diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder

Does OCD cause short term memory loss?

Abstract. Pathological doubt, often found in individuals with

obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), has been theoretically linked to

Does OCD cause vivid memories?

This is based on research showing individuals with OCD prefer their

memories be more vivid than they are and evidence that repeated checking
itself increases “know” responses for accurate memories.

(soos ek hierdie verstaan is mense met OCD soek vivid memories en het
ook baie van hulle net sodat hulle kan seker is oor dinge maar eks nie

What is OCD memory?

False memories can be a form of obsessive thinking. Someone

experiencing false memory OCD may suffer from doubts about their ability
to accurately recall events. They may wonder if they did something wrong,
even when there's no evidence of that being the case.

Conclusion

So soos wat dit vir my lyk is daar nie veel evidence om te determine of
OCD jou memory kan effect nie. Dit lyk of dit kan maar researchers is nie
seker nie. Hierdie is die most pointless results en eks jammer ek kon nie
meer kry nie maar dit lyk nie of daar veel meer is nie tho.
