Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder?

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

What does it mean when people say that OCD, and OCPD have to keep you from performing daily activities? I have practically every symptom of OCD and OCPD, but if I went to a doctor they’d say that I don’t classify because it doesn’t severely affect my life.
Is it true that if it doesn’t severly affect your life, then you don’t have it?

   It is not debilitating, so don’t worry about being labeled. We are all imperfect and have some degree of mental defectiveness. The real question is : Why are you so intent on having this label attached to you? Are you looking for some sense of identity? If so, this is the wrong road to hoe. Your identity should come from your Creator as one who was made in the Image of God. Learn who God is, and you will find yourself.

   Lots of people could say they have features of one or both. It’s not considered a mental disorder unless it causes significant problems in your life.

   For example, I have a hang up with numbers, I like to count things, or spell words on my fingers. But it doesn’t take up so much of my time that I can’t get my work done, eat, pay bills, or whatever. If it did, then maybe it would be considered a disorder; OCD.

   I also have a hang up about making lists of things for no apparent reason. If I was very insistent that other people had to follow my list in the exact order, and I was so insistent that I couldn’t get along with anybody, then it might be considered severe enough to be Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder.
