by Alike Medical Team ∙ Updated on June 13, 2023

General

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a type of personality disorder that is characterized by a tendency of being perfectionist, organized, and neat. Also, people who have OCPD will try to impose their standards on their environment. These people are stiff, have a hard time creating and maintaining relationships, and find it hard to express their feelings. This personality develops most likely due to a combination of genetics and childhood experiences.
