A licensed professional therapist calls Catie out for faking her OCD and using it as an excuse to kiss random men

Posted by on

   90 Day Fiancé star Catie Norboe has sparked controversy among viewers after repeatedly attributing her habit of kissing other men while intoxicated to her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 


Throughout Season 12, Catie has claimed that intrusive thoughts associated with OCD contribute to her urge to make out with friends and even strangers, despite being engaged to Josh Atkins. According to Mirror US, her explanation has drawn significant skepticism from fans who question whether OCD is truly responsible for the behavior.

According to Mirror US, licensed therapist **Madeline Thompson Smith**, a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of Brave Lives Counseling in Atlanta, addressed the issue and challenged the notion that wanting to kiss strangers while drinking is a typical symptom of OCD. Smith stressed that she could not diagnose or evaluate Catie specifically without meeting her, but she explained that wanting to kiss strangers while drinking because you're feeling happy would not be considered a typical symptom of OCD. She further noted that OCD is generally characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, not impulsive romantic or s*xual behavior. According to Mirror US, Smith warned that linking such actions to OCD could contribute to public misunderstandings about the disorder.

The controversy has intensified as viewers have watched Catie continue engaging in flirtatious behavior with other men, including attempts to kiss multiple male friends in front of her partner, Josh. According to Mirror US, Josh has become increasingly frustrated with the repeated incidents and has questioned the future of their relationship. While Catie has maintained that OCD plays a role in her actions, Madeline Thompson Smith's comments, as reported by Mirror US, highlight the distinction between genuine OCD symptoms and behaviors that may stem from other factors. Her expert perspective has added fuel to an ongoing debate among fans about accountability, mental health, and the risks of using a psychiatric diagnosis to explain conduct that affects others.
