Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar ( MBBS, MD)

 

 Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control. Individuals with OCPD tend to be excessively focused on details, rules, lists, and schedules, often to the extent that it hampers their ability to complete tasks efficiently.

People with OCPD might set excessively high standards for themselves and others, leading to rigidity in their thinking and behaviour. They might struggle with flexibility and tend to be inflexible when it comes to morals, ethics, or values. While the name is similar, OCPD is distinct from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as OCPD primarily revolves around personality traits, whereas OCD involves specific obsessions and compulsions.

Individuals with OCPD might find it challenging to work with others due to their insistence on doing things their way and their difficulty delegating tasks. Relationships might also suffer due to their inclination towards perfectionism and a need for control.

Diagnosis involves a thorough assessment by a mental health professional. Treatment may include therapy focused on developing flexibility, stress reduction techniques, and improving interpersonal skills. However, individuals with OCPD might not always seek treatment as they often see their traits as beneficial or are reluctant to change their behaviour. Early intervention and support can help manage the impact of OCPD on daily functioning and relationships.
