I think you would glean more respect for the phenomenology of the mental illness known as "OCD"; a psychobiological illness that can prevent people from functioning in any milieu. There is a difference the meanings of the words "obsessive", "compulsive", and obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), and true OCD.

On a forum such as Psycho-Babble, I think it is critically important not to make the same mistakes of ignorance that are still perpetrated in the general population when it comes to mental illness. We owe it to ourselves to be careful with how we use clinical nomenclature.
