OCD and
what it is NOT! Addiction:
Cars, sex, gambling, drugs, shopping, football may for some people become
compelling obsessions, but these initially pleasurable interests are never
part of clinical OCD.
Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD):
Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), and Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD), are often confused as they are thought of as being similar.
Schizophrenia:
Some people with OCD have a fear that their OCD is the beginning of Schizophrenia.
However, someone with OCD does not have any higher risk of becoming schizophrenic
than any other member of society.
