The onset of sudden, intrusive thoughts led a young woman to falsely fear she was a paedophile.

For years, Molly stayed silent until a social media video suggested it could be a lesser-known symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Molly has gone from silence to sharing her OCD story online in the hope that others experiencing the same thoughts don't feel alone.
