Summary
Is it possible that some of those who appear the most zealous in mastering the spiritual life are actually suffering from Religious Scrupulosity OCD? Maybe you yourself suffer from being “overly conscientious” or “perfectionistic.” Scrupulosity is a debilitating mental illness that demands a level of sinless perfection a person cannot attain. People with Scrupulosity are tortured by thoughts that they may have sinned or not done their religious duties correctly. They suffer from unwanted and intrusive thoughts that bombard their minds with an intensity that feels unbearable. When they share their concerns with their pastors or other religious leaders, they are often accused of not trying hard enough to serve God or are dismissed as overly conscientious.
In The Hijacked Conscience, Debra Peck provides a guide for religious leaders and counselors who minister to those with Scrupulosity as she vulnerably shares her own story of suffering and healing and offers hope for others who suffer from Scrupulosity.
