The term perfectionism encompasses a broad scope of characteristics. It isn?t a diagnosable mental disorder. As such, it?s used loosely and without any real clinical criteria. People with perfectionist traits tend to have extremely high standards for themselves and others. They are goal driven, workaholics, with exacting standards. Perfectionists crave order and predictability. They want things to be ?just right? or they feel anxious. They are often highly stressed and feel anxious and tense. Perfectionists can get hung up on the details, wasting time perfecting, practicing, and redoing work in a compulsive fashion. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by recurring and unwanted thoughts or images (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). For example, an obsession is repeated thoughts and worries about germs. And an associated compulsion is frequent hand washing and cleaning. Obsessions create anxiety and an urgent need to do the compulsive behaviors. Those with OCD feel they must repetitively perform these compulsive behaviors or something bad will happen. The compulsions may temporarily relieve the anxiety, but it?s short lived leaving one in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. OCD can cause so much distress and consume so much time that it disables people from living full and productive lives.
