Do we need to know the categories of each disorder for A-Level Psychology AQA?

Categories for Phobias, depression, OCD.
For example for phobias its:
- specific phobia
- social anxiety
- agoraphobia

Do we need to memorise these?

OCD:
-trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling)
-excoriation disorder (compulsive skin picking)
-hoarding disorder

Depression
