Which Disorder Might This Fall Under?!
Question: Which Disorder Might This Fall Under!?
Both of my parents have two very particular set of behaviors!.
1!. They seemed to be overly concerned with orderliness and they both seem like feel as if there is always a million things to do!. My mom or dad, when at home, will spend an entire day cleaning, even if it isn't necessary!. Really it isn't all about cleaning either!. They also have a long list of things they NEED to do everyday but usually these things aren't urgent!. Something like need to go to the hardware store to pick up grass seed, to fill in a patch in the lawn and it has to be done TODAY!. Or there will be a few dishes in the sink and they will tell me i have to load them in the dishwasher NOW!. Not in an hour, not some time later but NOW!. That kind of thing!. However, it isn't just about keeping the house clean but just a general sense of urgency!.
2!. They both seem to worry excessively about nothing!. It seems like they are on constant guard for something going wrong!. They seem to find serious problems where there are none!. Like my dog has a lot of fur and it is really hot out, so he has been panting a lot lately!. However, my mom is now concerned he had a stroke because "his mouth is open all the time"!.
I see hints of generalized anxiety disorder but would that explain all of this or do you see other disorders, as well!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes I see GAD but also a touch of OCD!. They sound a lot like my parents, and me, for that matter!. I can definitely relate, they sound like really stressed out parents who are so used to having lots to do that they look for things to worry about when there are none!. Ask them if they know they about GAD or OCD and if they say no ask them if they would consider talking to their doctor about it!. It's not necessarily OCD though as long as they're still able to function and do the normal things that everyone else does!. A full blown OCD patient may not even be able to leave the house because they can't touch the door knob in just the right way, or maybe they feel like they can't walk outside in the right way so they try over and over until they just give up!. You get my point!. It's still good to ask though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
maybe a bit of OCD and stress but im no expert!.
you really need to find out why they do these things!. if they have to do everything on the list because they feel that something bad would happen otherwise, then i would suggest OCD!. however some people are more highly strung than others and it may just be part of their personalities!.

They just seem busy or stressed out to me!. The worrying about nothing sounds like anxiety issues, which is probably just related to how busy they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could just be that they are stressed out and on-edge!. Do they have high-stress jobs, or has there been a big change in their lifestyle!? To be honest, their behavior doesn't seem too out of the ordinary to me!. Some people are just anxious about things!. Maybe they feel that if they dont do things right away, they wont get done!.
Perhaps it is worse in real life than your decsription makes it seem, but it that's all it is, I wouldn't be so quick to assume their behavior is a result of a mental disorder!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
