STOP Saying You're "OCD" - The Truth About This Serious Mental Illness

The phrase 'I'm so OCD' is thrown around casually, but it trivializes a debilitating mental illness and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the term. It's time to get the facts straight.

Dr. Roger Hall provides a crucial breakdown of the difference between true Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a distressing anxiety disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), a rigid and controlling personality type. He also introduces his own term for the healthy, high-performance version of this trait that so many people mistakenly call OCD: Obsessive-Compulsive Arrangement (OCA).

This is a clear-headed look at the psychology behind these behaviors, separating a real disorder from a chosen system for success.
