Scrupulosity is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that is characterized by extreme worry and obsession about religious or moral themes. It is a common issue within the LDS community, particularly among youth and young adults. Research has shown that there is a strong genetic component to OCD, and studies are being conducted to understand the genetic factors associated with scrupulosity.
The LDS community is more susceptible to scrupulosity due to the emphasis on perfectionism and the importance of faith. However, it is important to note that scrupulosity is not caused by the teachings of the Church. Scrupulosity, a form of OCD characterized by religious and moral obsessions, can be effectively treated through exposure and response prevention therapy.
Parents can support their children with OCD by helping them develop psychological flexibility and tolerance for uncertainty. The treatment for OCD involves exposing oneself to triggers and gradually reducing anxiety through repeated exposure. It is important to differentiate between scrupulosity and a faith crisis, as the former is driven by anxiety while the latter is a values-based concern. Mental illness, including OCD, is treatable, and seeking help should not be stigmatized.
