Obsessive Compulsive Disorders: A Complex Concept Simply Explained

This guide outlines, that it has been traditionally, thought that there are four main categories of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as well as numerous sub-types of the illness within each category as follows. Typically a person’s OCD will fall into one of the following Six Areas.

1) Checking

2) Contamination

3) Mental Contamination

4) Hoarding

5) Ruminations

6) Intrusive Thoughts

The guide list categorizes the most common forms of O.C.D. and some of the fears associated with them. However, the list outlined in this book is by no means an exhaustive list and there are forms of O.C.D. that do not feature in this guide including other obsessions or compulsions, which will be featured in future paperback versions of this guide to OCD’s.
