	OCD is a neurological disorder, associated with genetic and environmental factors.

	Since typical intrusive thoughts, characterizing this disorder, do not concern pedophilia as a type of attraction, but CSA, renaming from "pedophilia obsessive-compulsive disorder" to "child sexual abuse obsessive-compulsive disorder" makes most sense. However, it is possible that some people suffer from genuine intrusive thoughts about pedophilia as an identity, without any thoughts about CSA (even though such cases are not yet recorded). It is possible to reserve the term "POCD" for this situation, bringing its meaning closer to homosexual OCD and other sexual orientation OCD types<ref>[https://www.sheppardpratt.org/news-views/story/sexual-orientation-ocd-a-k-a-so-ocd-or-hocd/ Sexual Orientation OCD (a.k.a.

OCD most commonly manifests as a combination of obsessive intrusive thoughts (unwanted ideas or images, appearing in one's mind) and compulsions (actions one feels an urge to perform in order to soothe the intrusive thoughts).
OCD is sometimes classified by the nature and topic of obsessions and compulsions:
cleaning (contamination obsessions and cleaning compulsions);
doubt (compulsive checking and self reassurance);
symmetry (symmetry obsessions and repeating, ordering, and counting compulsions);
forbidden or taboo thoughts (aggressive, sexual, and religious obsessions)<ref>[https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en%23/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1582741816 6B20 Obsessive-compulsive disorder], ICD-11.</ref>.
