Luke Combs says he struggles with ‘pure O,’ an OCD variant that’s literally all in his head: ‘It’s not fun’

The singer of “Fast Car” admits to suffering not only from anxiety but also a severe form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Unlike common symptoms like repetitive actions such as switching lights on and off, or excessive hand-washing, his OCD manifests more in the fixation on thoughts associated with OCD, rather than visible compulsive behaviors, as he explained during an interview on Australia’s “60 Minutes” in February. This is often referred to as Pure Obsessional OCD (Pure O).
