Primarily Obsessional OCD
Primarily obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder (also called purely obsessional OCD)[1] is a less common type of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People with primarily obsessional OCD have different types of compulsions. These compulsions are more difficult to see than ones that people with regular OCD have (such as checking things, counting things, and washing their hands). People with primarily obsessional OCD may do rituals. These mostly happen in their mind. Primarily obsessional OCD can give people bad thoughts. These thoughts may be scary or violent.[2]
