Anyone know what the difference is between “thought insertion” and “intrusive thoughts” I have intrusive thoughts that have a paranoid theme with no feeling of paranoia and I can’t tell if its OCD/Anxiety related or if its residual psychosis.
Any help would be appreciated
Thought insertion is when other people put thoughts in your head. Intrusive thoughts are when thoughts enter your head without other people being involved. That is how I think it is. If I have understood it right.

Thanks for your response, yea that sounds pretty logical. I got into a little problem with my downstairs neighbors because my smoke alarm was chirping. I get a call from the condo association telling me to fix it because they complained. My first thought was "damn, the neighbors reported me to the government"
When I meant to think housing people. It freaked me out and I couldn’t tell which one that was.
