Is think about hurting others just obsession?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not 'just' obsession: Such thoughts could be an obsession if they're frequent and hard to shake. Along with other thoughts or compulsive behaviors, they could be part of obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd). But not necessarily. And thoughts about hurting others can be potentially dangerous, and/or reflect great anger. If this happens a lot or is scary, the person should consult a mental health professional.
