Pure O OCD is a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) without visible compulsive behaviors. Individuals may struggle with anxiety over these thoughts, often involving fears related to harm, morality, or taboo subjects. To cope, they might engage in mental rituals or avoidance, making it difficult to manage their distress.

Health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder, is a condition where a person constantly worries about having a serious illness despite having little or no physical symptoms. This intense anxiety often leads to excessive health-related behaviors like frequent doctor visits or checking for symptoms, or it can cause the person to avoid medical care altogether due to fear of discovering an illness.

Perfectionism is a personality trait characterized by a relentless pursuit of flawlessness and high standards. People with perfectionism often set unrealistically high expectations for themselves and others, leading to chronic dissatisfaction and stress. While it can drive achievement, perfectionism can also result in procrastination, burnout, and a fear of failure.

ARFID is an eating disorder where individuals avoid certain foods or restrict their intake, leading to nutritional deficiencies, significant weight loss, or a reliance on supplements. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID is not driven by body image concerns but by a fear of choking, texture aversions, or a lack of interest in eating. This disorder can significantly impact physical health and daily functioning.

Orthorexia nervosa is an unhealthy obsession with eating only "pure" or "healthy" foods, often leading to restrictive eating patterns. Unlike other eating disorders, the focus in orthorexia is on food quality rather than quantity or body image. This fixation can result in nutritional imbalances, social isolation, and a negative impact on overall well-being.

Phobias are intense fears of specific objects, situations, or activities. These fears can lead to avoidance behaviors and significant distress, interfering with daily life. Phobias are categorized into specific phobias (like fear of spiders or heights) and agoraphobia (fear of places where escape might be difficult).

Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of anxiety-related sensations, stemming from the belief that these sensations have harmful physical, social, or psychological consequences. People with high anxiety sensitivity might misinterpret symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath as dangerous, which can lead to heightened anxiety and even panic attacks. This fear amplifies the overall experience of anxiety, often creating a cycle of worry about worry.

Social anxiety is an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated in social or performance situations. People with social anxiety often worry excessively about everyday interactions, leading to avoidance of social activities or enduring them with significant distress. This fear can interfere with relationships, work, and daily functioning, often resulting in isolation and feelings of loneliness.
