Is OCPD the same as OCD?
@munchiegoosie No, they are not the same at all. They just have similar names.
At 7 Cups we have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Support for OCD. It's hidden in our Support Plus community.

Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks for letting me know.
@munchiegoosie
Here's something I was able to find re: the difference in how they're diagnosed.
"OCD is marked by specific obsessions (unwanted, intrusive and persistent thoughts) and compulsions, such as checking the oven or washing hands repeatedly. OCPD, in contrast, affects the entire personality with the need for control and perfectionism."

Ohhhh okay. Thank you so much! I'll write that down for myself as that is both informative and interesting!
Turns out that I don't have OCD but....
I recently found out, as a result of professional testing, that
I at least may have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).
I am awaiting further testing that will not happen until several months from now but I am going to take time to learn more about OCPD.
@munchiegoosie
Glad you were able to get that clarification 💜
