It's not exactly "thinking about hurting my children" and more having depersonalised thoughts of someone who looks like me and has ny life, but isn't me, hurting my children.

I'm happy to hear you never personally experienced that symptom, that makes you lucky. It is a very common symptom of postpartum depression, and anxiety.

They are terrifying thoughts. No one who experiences true intrusive thoughts is even entertaining the idea of acting on them, removing someone from society is overkill in most cases. There is cause for concern when there are pre-existing mental health conditions that tap into impulsivity, hallucination, and derealisation, but that's why you need to act on a case by case basis.

I agree that people who are experiencing intrusive thoughts of harming others need professional pshycological support - but not because they are a danger to society, that's not the nature of the disease. Intrusive thoughts are a source of anxiety and trauma in and of themselves, and left untreated can trigger OCD symptoms in people who didn't previously have OCD.
