Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions can interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.
There are many different types, but some of the most common include:
Contamination Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Characterized by fears of contamination. People with this type of OCD may worry about germs, dirt, or other substances.
