DSM-5-TR · Cluster C

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder

A longstanding pattern of perfectionism, orderliness, and control that can make it hard to finish tasks or adapt.

When standards get in the way

Someone may keep revising a project long after it meets the requirements, miss a deadline, or resist delegating because a different method feels unacceptable. A clinician looks for recurring difficulty adjusting standards when circumstances change and for consequences at work, at home, and in relationships.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and OCD

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) involves a broader pattern of rigid standards and control. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves recurring unwanted thoughts, compulsions, or both. The conditions can occur together. When considering your own habits, notice what drives them and what happens when you try to change course.
