Pure O is a lesser known form of OCD, which causes obsessions without observable compulsions. These obsessions often take the form of intrusive, frightening thoughts which go against the person's values and beliefs. While it may appear that people with Pure O do not have outward compulsions, they engage in other compulsive behaviors such as reassurance seeking, avoidance, and other "mental compulsions" #ocd #pureo #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #information #education #treatment #recovery #progres
