Do I Have OCPD?

Published in Mental Health 1 min read

It's impossible to diagnose yourself with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Only a qualified mental health professional can provide a diagnosis after a thorough evaluation.

OCPD is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control.

People with OCPD may:

  • Be excessively devoted to work and productivity, neglecting leisure activities and relationships.
  • Have difficulty relaxing and delegating tasks.
  • Be extremely rigid and inflexible in their thinking and behavior.
  • Have a strong need for control and perfectionism, which can lead to procrastination and difficulty completing tasks.
  • Be overly critical of themselves and others.

If you're concerned about your own behavior, it's important to seek professional help. A therapist can help you understand your symptoms and develop coping strategies.

Remember, self-diagnosis can be inaccurate and potentially harmful. It's crucial to consult a mental health professional for an accurate assessment and appropriate treatment.
