 When people think about a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) they often imagine a Type-A personality, who is obsessed with organizing, cleaning, or orderliness, and may be a perfectionist. The lack of information and dynamic understanding of what OCD really is causes many people to believe that OCD is a personality trait or quirk. The misrepresentation of OCD symptoms as a personality feature overshadows the presence of a more serious illness. Interestingly, the type of person we commonly associate with the profile of OCD is more likely to be diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).
