Are automatic and intrusive smells act in the same way automatic/intrusive thoughts work in OCD patients? This means as the intrusive thoughts are fake so are the intrusive thoughts? Thanks.
Intrusive smells are rare in OCD but can be seen in other disorders like ORS.

for further assessment.
Therefore the nature of perceived smells will depend on the cause.
It's a possibility, It can be a symptom of Olfactory reference syndrome which comes under OCD
or maybe a symptom of relating bad and foul smells to different indidences. Needs assessment. you can get consultation for that
your daily routine? sleep schedule? diet? screen time? any stress?
Hello, we could better find the linkages between intrusive smells and thoughts to determine the baseline relations between the two. so i would suggest a detailed session to gather these connections and will help in elaborating how it works.
need details to diagnose. consult clinical psychologist.
Needs assessment to give you an effective solution.
OCD is manageable with treatment.
needs complete History for diagnosis... you can book appointment with me on Marham
