Well honey, there are actually more than four types of OCD, but I'll give you the popular ones. We've got checking, contamination, symmetry and order, and intrusive thoughts. But hey, OCD is a tricky beast and can manifest in all sorts of ways, so don't go thinking it's just limited to those four categories.

ADD is an attention disorder, ADHD is like ADD, but often more activity. OCD is an anxiety disorder where people struggle with obsessions, and act on them through compulsions. Now days ADD and ADHD are interchangeable. I have ADD and OCD.

Isolation, Undoing, reaction formation are the main three defence mechanisms for OCD. Magical thinking is another mechanism associated with OCD.
He doesn't really have OCD
OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a mental disorder related to anxiety.Definition: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by combinations of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors compulsions.There are different types of OCD such as "watchers" "checkers" "washers" "hoarders" these are just names describing the symptoms. A washer is someone who has anxiety about germs so they will continually wash their hands through the day to relieve their anxiety. If they do not follow this ritual they will experience anxiety or even thoughts (for example) about dying of a disease that is on their hands because they didn't wash them.Many people with OCD count their steps, breaths, or how many times they have to do something. Many with OCD will associate themselves with "good" or "bad" numbers. For exmaple a person with OCD might open a door 4 times because 4 is a good number but 6 is not. They will have to open the door 4 times to let go of their anxiety and if they do not listen something bad will happen (enter any form of fear) to them or someone they care about.There is an irrational thought process for people with OCD not just compulsions. The thought process is what controls the person with OCD.These compulsions do not help with the anxiety only the fear of something bad happening because they didn't listen.Many people with OCD try to hide their compulsions out of fear.People with OCD know these rituals are irrational but have to do them anyways to relieve the anxiety and horrible thoughts in their mind if they ignore it.If you have any of these symptoms please contact professional help. OCD is usually developed in early childhood or teen years and is thought to be passed down in families. OCD is very difficult to deal with on your own and medication and behavior techniques are available with therapy. There is no cure for OCD but techniques to manage it.Good luck.
