A member asked:
In what ways can ocd or anxiety change the way you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Our emotions: Impact on how we think about things. When we are anxious or upset we may distort what we hear. For instance, studies following bank robberies often reveal that people perceive the height, color of clothing , hair etc of the bank robber differently. This is due to how emotionally charged the situation is.
