Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is a mental disorder characterized by a rigid adherence to rules, routines, and excessive orderliness. People with this disorder may be extremely organized, rule-abiding, and stubborn. They may obsess over details, put work before relationships, and be overly critical of themselves and others. OCPD is not the same as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, while OCPD is a personality disorder.
