intrusive thoughts are unwanted and disturbing thoughts that pop into your mind without warning. They can cause anxiety, guilt, or distress. intrusive thoughts are not a sign of mental illness by themselves, but they can be a symptom of some conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). intrusive thoughts can be treated with therapy, medication, or self-help strategies.
