Could the following be signs of OCD?!
Question:
Could the following be signs of OCD?
A friend of mine let's say her name is Suzie Q. Okay well when she was around 12 she would always have to have everything perfect and lined up just right.
examples:
-bed had to be made perfect
-everything has to be in a certain spot
-has to follow the same order of events every morning
-has to lock a door a certain number of times until it "feels right"
-& usually has to touch a certain object so many times
Suzie Q never thought anything of this until now.
She stopped doing all of the above until recently. When she started doing the following below:
-insiting on washing bedding/sheets once a week
-won't even sit on the bed until showering and changing clothes
-must touch an object so many times till it feels right
Answers:
This may be annoying, but medically speaking it's not OCD, it's just quirky behavior. As long as it doesn't interfere with her functioning in life, don't worry.
