"Pure O," a 2023 film, dives into the world of a man named Cooper (played by Daniel Dorr) grappling with a lesser-known form of OCD called Pure O. Unlike the more stereotypical OCD with visible compulsions, Pure O manifests through disturbing intrusive thoughts.

He finds a surprising source of support in the very people he counsels – the recovering addicts battling their own demons. Through their shared struggles, Cooper discovers the power of human connection and the importance of community in overcoming his darkest moments.
"Pure O" is praised for its raw portrayal of mental illness and its emphasis on the strength found in connection. It sheds light on a lesser-known OCD variant, offering a window into the challenges faced by those suffering from it.
