Perfectionism can simply be a personality trait. However, it can also be a sign of obsessive compulsive personality disorder or OCPD. Additionally, OCPD is often misconceived as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These disorders are so misunderstood, and the first step in mental health recovery is the right diagnosis.

In this interview, triple board-certified neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho and MedCircle host Kyle Kittleson break down perfectionism vs OCPD vs OCD. Here's what you need to know.

In this video, they discuss...

What is OCPD? What are its symptoms?
How is OCPD different from obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD?
Are there any other mental health causes of extreme perfectionism?
What about being “rigid” in relationships?
What are the myths or misconceptions surrounding OCPD symptoms like perfectionism and rigidity?
How can these extreme symptoms affect someone’s relationships?
What can someone with these symptoms do to improve their relationships?
What about the supporter on the “other side” of the relationship?
