Blasphemous thoughts, also known as scrupulosity, as an obsessional theme has piqued curiosities long before it was considered a neurosis. Such obsessions may or may not have an accompanying compulsion and comprise 5% of the patients of OCD. The case series is of three patients suffering from repetitive, intrusive, ego-dystonic, and distressing blasphemous thoughts, which are extremely distressing to them, rendering them unable to perform any other activity. The symptoms also indicate the presence of comorbid depressive and anxiety disorders, developing secondary to the blasphemous thoughts. Inadequate knowledge in this subtype of OCD mandates the need for more studying and research, especially with new texts suggesting the implementation of faith-assisted psychotherapy in addition to the conventional psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-6748.328824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T07:08:09Z","timestamp":1681110489000},"page":"S258-S262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Blasphemous thoughts in obsessive\u2013compulsive disorder"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Tahoora","family":"Ali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Swaleha","family":"Mujawar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Supriya","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suprakash","family":"Chaudhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Saldanha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S200","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5545.69233","article-title":"An overview of Indian research in obsessive compulsive disorder","volume":"52","author":"Reddy","year":"2010","journal-title":"Indian J Psychiatry"},{"key":"R2-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.4103\/0022-3859.40773","article-title":"Family burden, quality of life and disability in obsessive compulsive disorder: An Indian perspective","volume":"54","author":"Gururaj","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Postgrad Med"},{"key":"R4-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"595","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajp.2013.08.072","article-title":"Obsessions from the past: A study of the chapter on \u201cblasphemous thoughts\u201d in \u201cThe Ladder of Divine Ascent\u201d (7th century AD)","volume":"6","author":"Avgoustidis","year":"2013","journal-title":"Asian J Psychiatr"},{"key":"R5-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-1781(01)00310-9","article-title":"Religiosity and religious obsessions in obsessive-compulsive disorder","volume":"104","author":"Tek","year":"2001","journal-title":"Psychiatry Res"},{"key":"R6-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"140","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocrd.2013.12.007","article-title":"Scrupulosity: A cognitive-behavioral analysis and implications for treatment","volume":"3","author":"Abramowitz","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Obsessive Compuls Relat Disord"},{"key":"R7-51-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"204","DOI":"10.1080\/13674676.2017.1370700","article-title":"Religious-integrated therapy for religious obsessive-compulsive disorder in an adolescent: A case report and literature review","volume":"21","author":"MdRosli","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ment Health Relig Cult"}],"container-title":["Industrial Psychiatry Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/0972-6748.328824","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T19:15:30Z","timestamp":1787166930000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/0972-6748.328824"}},"subtitle":["A case series"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/0972-6748.328824","relation":{},"ISSN":["0972-6748"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0972-6748","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]}}}
