Actualy O-C’s prefer rituals, like handwashing, or recitation of some chant over and over, and they worry a lot, not having much assurance in life. Others hear voices and or see things, and can become delusional. Or they can be deemed “mystics” and made into holy people, and after they die, others pray to them. They are relatively harmless as long as they can’t exercise control over others, which unfortunately some do try to do, like Bloody Mary, whom I do believe was related to Henry 8

>>Actualy O-C’s prefer....<<

Actually, that is a direct quote from the DSM-IV. It’s what Psychs use to diagnose patients. If the behaviors fit the criteria of a diagnosis, that is how the diagnosis is made.

The ICD-9 code is the treatment code and used for billing.

To me, it looks absolutely like what the Mod was speaking about. And I did work Psych.
