Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by repetitive, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to ritualistic, repetitive behaviors (compulsions) done to ease anxiety, like repeatedly checking locks. A panic attack involves sudden, intense fear with physical symptoms, and a phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object/situation, neither matching Javier's behavior.
