Hi everyone, I'm new here so in case something is wrong I apologize. When it comes to psychology, I'm a total layman, so the question can be quite simple. For a long time I believed that the thought of jumping from a very high place (or similar thoughts) was uniquely called "Call of the void" (which is not completely wrong), but today talking to a friend, she tells me that the name of this is actually "intrusive thoughts". She has a degree in psychology so there's no reason to doubt it, but I'm a little stubborn so I've been trying to look a little bit more about it. Is there any difference between the two? Is "Call of the void" a subcategory of "Intrusive Thoughts"? or is "Call of the void" the "popular" name and "intrusive thoughts" the "scientific" name ?
