  1. OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): OCD is a mental health disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Obsessions are intrusive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that recur and cause anxiety, while compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate the anxiety caused by the obsessions. Common obsessions can include fear of contamination, doubts, or aggressive thoughts, among others. Compulsions may involve excessive handwashing, counting, checking, or other rituals.

  2. ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person's ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate their behavior. There are three main types of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentation. People with ADHD may have difficulty sustaining attention, being organized, or controlling their impulses, and they may also be excessively restless or hyperactive.

Raiding, in the context you've mentioned, might be related to online gaming or other activities involving group efforts to achieve specific objectives, often found in multiplayer games. It is essential to recognize that having a strong interest or passion for raiding or any particular activity does not necessarily indicate OCD or ADHD.

If someone's obsession with raiding is causing significant distress or interfering with their daily life in a way that resembles the symptoms of OCD or ADHD, it is crucial to consult with a mental health professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can accurately diagnose and provide appropriate guidance based on an individual's specific symptoms and circumstances.
