Get best counseling for OCD – with Nathan Peterson

**[POCD help](https://www.ocd-anxiety.com/)** or **[Pedophile ocd help](https://www.ocd-anxiety.com/)** is a subset of OCD in which a sufferer has unwanted harmful or sexual thoughts about children. This subtype often results in panic, anguish, shame and depression. People living with PCOD have no desire to harm a child, yet they’re tormented by thoughts of doing so.

The difference between someone living with PCOD and an actual pedophile couldn’t be greater. A pedophile takes pleasure in situation in which they have an opportunity to find sexual gratification around children. Someone living with PCOD will do the exact opposite. Sufferers of PCOD are so horrified by their thoughts that they will avoid children at all costs. The nature of this subtype is so taboo that it often leads to years of suffering in silence.
