Obsessive-compulsive disorder

A personality disorder characterized by a pervasive preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and interpersonal control, beginning by early adulthood at latest. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) may be evident by: preoccupation with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules; perfectionism; excessive devotion to work to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships; inability to discard worthless objects of no sentimental value; reluctance to delegate tasks or work with others unless everything is done their way; miserliness in regard to oneself and others; rigidity and stubbornness. OCPD is different and distinct from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is a type of anxiety disorder.
