OCD and PersonalityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It has long been thought that OCD and personality might be related. For example, Freud thought that personality characteristics such as indecisiveness and orderliness played a large role in the development of OCD. Although there does not appear to be a single OCD personality type that is vulnerable to developing OCD, recent research suggests a relationship between OCD and personality.

Psychological therapies are effective treatments for reducing the frequency and intensity of symptoms of OCD. Effective psychological treatments for OCD emphasize changes in behavior and/or thoughts.
