	'''Pedophilia OCD''' (POCD, sometimes styled pOCD) is a supposed subtype of '''Obsessive Compulsive Disorder''', in which an individual is mentally crippled by anxiety that they might be a [[pedophilia\|pedophile]]. These obsessions are accompanied by compulsive behaviors, in which the individual attempts to prove or disprove their hypothesis. Online guides that profess of this new disorder, claim that the pedophilia these OCD sufferers believe they are experiencing is "not real", and the recommended treatment is to spend time alone with children. POCD is sometimes alluded to in "10 reasons" type clickbait articles, for obvious reasons.
