Comorbidity of Eating Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Thought Action Fusion (TAF)
A major symptom of OCD is the presence of obsessive and intrusive thoughts that cause the individual a significant amount of distress. Accompanying these thoughts is the irrational fear and belief that their thoughts can actually make an event/action more likely to occur. In addition, the strong, irrational association between thought and action can lead an individual to become convinced that having an intrusive thought of themselves doing something they perceive as morally wrong is the same as actually doing it. These beliefs are known as Thought Action Fusion, or TAF.
