==Overview==
The diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder is based on clinical assessment. Obsessive compulsive disorder is diagnosed according to the [[DSM]]-V guidelines, by the presence of obsessions, [[compulsion]]s or both. The [[symptoms]] must be time consuming, causing significant impairment of normal life activities and not being associated with a [[psychological]] disorder or [[substance abuse]]. Lastly, the [[symptoms]] must not fall into any other category of mental disorders to classify them as an obsessive compulsive disorder.<ref name="DSMV">{{cite book | title = Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders : DSM-5 | publisher = American Psychiatric Association | location = Washington, D.C | year = 2013 | isbn = 0890425558 }}</ref><ref name="pmid28384832">{{cite journal| author=Hirschtritt ME, Bloch MH, Mathews CA| title=Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment. | journal=JAMA | year= 2017 | volume= 317 | issue= 13 | pages= 1358-1367 | pmid=28384832 | doi=10.1001/jama.2017.2200 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=28384832  }} </ref>
 
==Diagnostic Criteria==
==Diagnostic Criteria==
The phrase "obsessive-compulsive" has worked its way into the wider English lexicon, and is often used in an offhand manner to describe someone who is meticulous or absorbed in a cause (see also "[[Anal retentive|anal-retentive]]"). Such casual references should not be confused with obsessive-compulsive disorder; see [[clinomorphism]]. It is also important to '''distinguish''' OCD from other types of[[anxiety]], including the routine [[tension]] and [[Stress (medicine)|stress]] that appear throughout life. Although these signs are often present in OCD, a person who shows signs of infatuation or[[fixation]] with a subject/object, or displays traits such as [[Perfectionism (psychology)|perfectionism]], does not necessarily have OCD, a specific and well-defined condition.


To be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, one must have either obsessions or compulsions alone, or obsessions and compulsions, according to the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders|DSM-IV-TR]] diagnostic criteria. The Quick Reference to the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR (2000) describes these obsessions and compulsions:<ref name="Quick">''Quick Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-IV-TR''.

# The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
# The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
# The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind, and are not based in reality.
# The tendency to haggle over small details that the viewer is unable to fix or change in any way. This begins a mental pre-occupation with that which is inevitable.

In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the sufferer must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive.
