About Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Ordering & Arranging
People with OCD who tend to be primarily preoccupied with order and exactness tend to engage in compulsive behaviors that include repetitive arranging, organizing or lining up of objects until certain conditions are met or the end result feels “just right.” These individuals are commonly referred to as perfectionists due to their need to arrange and order with such exactness and precision.
Arranging in the “Correct” Way
When objects are not set up in the “correct” way, these individuals often report a feeling of discomfort and incompleteness.
