Religious obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of OCD wherein the person obsesses over spiritual fears. It often involves religious compulsions such as excessive praying or visiting temples or performing rituals. For example, someone might worry that if they get a blasphemous thought, then they are going to hell and they might have to repeat a mantra to cope with this fear and believe that they might be forgiven.

Contamination OCD is a very common OCD subtype in which a person obsesses over germs in the environment, contracting an illness or spreading germs to others. These intrusive thoughts cause the person serious anxiety and distress, which they try to relieve with compulsive behavior like excessive handwashing, long baths (sometimes many hours too) or avoiding crowded spaces completely to prevent getting infected or infested.

This is characterized by recurrent and repugnant intrusive sexual thoughts. These are involuntary and can cause extreme distress. The sufferers experience an extreme degree of shame, guilt, and remorse; causing them to label themselves deviant and repulsive. The end result is often extreme sadness, hopelessness and depression.

Pure obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a subtype that is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images or urges without any actionable physical compulsions. Pure OCD differs slightly from other types of OCD because the compulsions primarily take place in a person's head rather than actions. These mental acts are also called mental rituals.
