Different Types of OCD: A 
Comprehensive Overview 
with Inland Empire 
Behavioral Group 
 
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health 
condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive 
behaviors (compulsions). In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the 
various types of OCD and introduce the supportive services provided by 
Inland Empire Behavioral Group. 
 
Understanding the Spectrum of 
OCD: 
 
1. Contamination OCD: 
 
Contamination OCD involves excessive fear of germs, dirt, or 
contamination. Individuals may engage in compulsive cleaning, avoid 
touching certain objects, or experience distress in environments perceived 
as unclean. 
 
2. Checking OCD: 
 
Checking OCD is marked by persistent doubts and fears, leading to 
 
repetitive checking behaviors. This can include checking doors, appliances, 
or personal belongings repeatedly to ensure safety or prevent harm. 
 
3. Symmetry and Ordering OCD: 
 
Symmetry and ordering OCD revolves around the need for symmetry, 
exactness, or specific arrangements. Individuals may feel compelled to 
arrange items symmetrically or follow rigid routines to alleviate anxiety. 
 
4. Hoarding OCD: 
 
Hoarding OCD involves difficulty discarding items, leading to excessive 
accumulation and clutter. Individuals with hoarding OCD may experience 
distress at the thought of parting with possessions, leading to significant 
clutter in living spaces. 
 
5. Intrusive Thoughts and Mental 
Rituals: 
 
Some individuals with OCD experience intrusive thoughts related to harm, 
taboo subjects, or irrational fears. They may engage in mental rituals or 
compulsions to neutralize these thoughts or prevent perceived harm.
