Specifically
G A D um is very much ruminative, more ruminative in nature.
It's everyday.
They're kind of plausible things, which sometimes you get stuck with O C D because you can have plausible things in O C D, like the house can burn down.
But actually let's use that example, right?
So let's have like the content of that intrusive thought, the house is gonna burn down, can occur across
G A D and O C D, right?
But the function and reaction is quite different.
In in GAD it will be, you know, oh gosh, you know, um uh I didn't actually ring that person to come and get the smoke detectors done.
Oh no, da da da and the rumination around it, right, I'll put it on that never ending list and goes around.
But it's more about that low grade motor and eventually they'll get round to it, but it's just plopped onto another worry.
there will be some looping, but there won't be any sort of like direct behaviour action to reduce it.
It's like, yes, that's just yet another worry I have to do, right?
And it might be kind of connected to other
worries around the house or things that they're not doing.
And the difficulty is that that fears of uncertainty and overestimation of threat are across both disorders.
But if I flip into O C D and use that
You know, if a person with O C D and sometimes they will actually most of the time there'll be another comorbid anxiety disorder, whether that's social or bad.
But with O C D the intrusive thought, it won't so much be loopy, it'd be more distinct cycle.
So what if the house burns down?
