Description
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), also known as 'anankastic personality disorder' or 'compulsive personality disorder', is a behavioral disorder that is characterized by an excessive need for following the guidelines, organization, cleanliness, and perfectionism in society. OCPD is far more common in men than it is in women. A person with OCPD enforces his or her standards onto others for them to be like him or her through hard labor, despite some others suffering from a disability. On top of that, no one is actually perfect in the sense that all humans make mistakes to improve for next time. An obsessive-compulsive patient focuses so much on achieving completion on a task that he or she doesn't spend enough time with his or her children or friends outside of the workplace, as well as being cold and distant to them. Interestingly, an obsessive-compulsive patient might as well make up the largest in the working class than any other people with different personality disorders or mental disorders. Differences between OCPD and OCD Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder often gets lumped together with Obsessive-compulsive disorder as both the same disorder by many people. However, there are differences between these two disorders. People with OCD can't control themselves, and they are likely to seek help to treat their disorder. People with OCPD are able to control themselves, they almost never seek therapy, and they believe that they have a purpose in life to be symmetrical to impress others.
