In this video, I’ll be discussing the connections between OCD, OCPD, and BPD and how they can be treated. If you're struggling with any of these conditions, then this video is for you. I'll share with you everything I know about the connections between these disorders and how they can be treated. This is a crucial video for anyone who is struggling with OCD, OCPD, or BPD, and I hope you find it helpful!
In this video, we’re going to discuss OCPD and OCD and separate the confusion. They can occur together, and research shows OCD with and without OCPD are similar in regards to gender distribution and age at onset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Those with OCD and OCPD were found to be more likely to present with the obsessive-compulsive symptom, such as hoarding, and have significantly more OCD severity, comorbidity, functional impairment, and poorer insight. Let’s break this down and see what it all means, and how it relates to BPD… Like, share and subscribe
Although obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and OCD have similar names, the clinical manifestations of these disorders are quite different. OCPD is not characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or urges or by repetitive behaviors that are performed in response to these thoughts; instead, it involves an ongoing and maladaptive pattern of excessive perfectionism and rigid control. Despite the similarity in names, OCD can be easily distinguished from obsessive-compulsive personality disorder by the presence of genuine obsessions and compulsions in OCD.
Treatment is an option and can be helpful. If comorbid with BPD, BPD symptoms must be addressed first, by identifying core and surface content.

The difference in insight between my ocd and my bpd is astounding. I've known I had ocd for many years and could easily identify my symptoms. But with my bpd, I experienced years and years of extreme dysfunction without recognizing there was something *seriously* wrong or that it was bpd. It's only recently I've accepted my diagnosis and begun to recognize my maladaptive behaviors and thoughts as maladaptive.

He’s right when it literally takes over your mind. There’s been times where I was just beginning for freedom. There’s hope y’all. Don’t give up
I'm sorry I couldn't help it but my first reaction was "THERE'S ANOTHER ONE NOW?" I've been diagnosed with bipolar, borderline, GAD, PTSD and CPTSD (separate events), ADHD, ROCD, and eating disorder. I'm genuinely looking forward to learning about the distinction and how it may illuminate some things, but sometimes all these diagnoses feel like I'm being slowly buried alive. I've chosen for myself to only pick the ones that make sense to me (C/PTSD, borderline, ADHD) to make it less overwhelming, especially since there's so much overlap - hypomania feels like hyperfocus and hyperactivity in adhd, anxiety overlaps with deppresive episodes of bipolar or perceived abandonment of borderline or hyperarousal and anticipation of C/PTSD, ROCD traits are shared with borderline experience, executive function is impacted by ADHD and also early childhood trauma and also borderline, etc.
And I'm far enough in recovery that I see my mental conditions as a part of my brain rather than as a part of who I am as a being, so it doesn't seem so dark anymore. But occasionally those feelings do come back I guess.
Edit: Just realized OCPD was just the personality disorder variant🤦🏻♀️ Goes to show how knee-jerk reaction that was for me, how overly on-edge I can be sometimes to this stuff
I appreciate the comment and insight.
Lol omg I said the same thing like damn there’s more. how many do I have😩
You literally typed out my thoughts. Another label to give myself
OCPD really is the worst named personality disorder. It should be changed. It used to be called Anankastic personality disorder in the ICD system, which at least distinguishes it from OCD.
I am absolutely amazed by the amount of your knowledge and understanding of personality disorders.
I am convinced I have COPD and BPD even though I am high functioning. It controls my life as my anxiety goes through the roof and having other mental disorders is like living in a world that cannot keep up with me and my thoughts as everything needs to be done NOW or I cannot function properly and that turns my days into confusion because my mind's lists of things that need to be done are scrambled. That is when I get angry, emotional, suicidal and all I want is to be left alone or il have a complete meltdown. I haven't been diagnosed but I know I have ocpd and other mental disorders as I'm not normal like other people and I've been this way since childhood. It takes its toll on mentally and physically. I wish I could take everything that is wrong with me and live a happy normal life. 44 years if suffering is destroying me
You can learn to do it differently. Learn about your core content. I discuss this in my workbook, which you might find helpful.
@@DrDanielFox thankyou. The only thing I know I've been diagnosed with and I found out by reading my medical notes on the way to hospital is agrophobia, sorry if it is not the correct spelling but other than that they say I have anxiety and depression. I know it's more than that because of my behaviour and how my brain and body functions. I also suffered childhood trauma from a very young age and it has had a profound affect on me since around 4 years old. The solution is to always give me antidepressants and recently antipsychotic medication without a diagnosis. It's a hell of a daily struggle as the medication is not and has never worked otherwise I would not be in this state of mind. Thankyou I will look into the workbook you mentioned. Have a great Sunday.

@@smilingu2741 I wish you healing! And I hope that you will be able to somehow help yourself thru this and other channels. Look up also Dr Kim Sage, Dr Ramani. I do feel for you esp knowing that the meds haven't worked like it was the case with my daughter. All the best for you!
I wish I had a problem with hoarding money lol
same, life would be a bit easier lol. spend spend spend
Looking forward to this. In library school they suggested that Melvil Dewey likely had OCPD.
Interesting.
My father had a masters degree & my mother was just very intelligent... I showed signs of both OCD & OCPD at a really young age, like young elementary... My father also seems to be a sociopath... Not sure about my mother... I was the middle child, scapegoat, truth teller, black sheet, ect...
Also my "OCD" is practically non existent now, but it tries to show up/flare up during extreme control put on my life or abuse or neglect... but I have really got it almost completely snuffed out!
I definitely think I struggled placement of items as a young adult, but now I don't just like thing put back nice and neat... I'm pretty flexible... I believe in loose schedule & tight routine! Especially for kids! Then they learn to move forward if something goes off from the schedule...
I think part of my problem was because my oldest sibling was 5 years older and I thought I was able to do everything that they could do & got frustrated when I could achieve what I was seeing in my mind. Art wise, writing, ect...

Psychiatrist said I have mild OCPD as well as BPD. The OCPD symptoms led me to think I might be autistic, as I hadn't previously known abut OCPD, so that was informative to learn, and I can see it going all the way back to my childhood, how things have always had to be perfect, and logical, and how I collect things, how my parents said that I was a packrat and a perfectionist. I've always had trouble with sarcasm and take everything literally. I can't understand it when people say one thing then do another, or lie. And I obsess about one thing at a time usually for a few months each. It's generally about choosing the best one, be it a lipstick or a winter coat or a dog breed. Also houses for sale, and comparing towns to live in, trying to find my El Dorado. I just finished spending thousands of dollars on collecting Barbie dolls. I love them, but that was a lot of money I couldn't stop the compulsion to choose and then buy. Trying to recover from that expense now.
Mom said I was too picky about men when I was 21, so I purposely overlooked a few things when I met my future husband (now divorced!). I am a great worker, a valued employee, and I enjoy the meaning I put into my work. Most people don't see it's importance, but I do. And I DO have trouble throwing things out or selling things. I've had to be very disciplined about this as an adult. Psychiatrist questioned me very logically about why I still own a depreciating motorhome I don't use, when I now have a house to live in instead. I hate to let go of things because my parents threw out so much of my childhood, and so much of the things I loved, our house, our dog, my clothes, my town, our 70's carpet I adored, each other...
I had a hard time letting my child do things for himself and watching him do everything poorly and wrong growing up! It's so much easier to prevent kitchen messes and to tie his shoes for him, and things like that. I prevented as many messes as I could. I now have a dog, and I find that stressful too. Messes, messes, messes!!! And she's always smearing her nose on my clean hands!! I go around with my hands in the air to keep them clean! School friend used to call me Sniffy, 'cause I was always sniffing my hands in high school to make sure they smelled fresh and not of food or anything else. My GP says I'm quirky. I think that's a nice way to view it. But my temper sometimes! I am using my DBT techniques to control it, and abstaining from liquor.
Regarding money, my handling of it has benefited me in that I've never been in debt, EVER. I never buy anything I don't have the cash to pay for. I think I learned that value from my Dad. Never borrow, and never lend. Whereas my 22 y.o. kid has it all wrong so far, at least in my eyes. My way has probably hindered me in ways as well though. It's dictated major things about my life, like where I've lived. I haven't lived life the "normal" way, with loans and mortgages. I live in an old fashioned, old money kind of way I guess. Dad going through WWII was a major influence.
I think you are probably the therapist, of all those I've watched on UA-cam, who I'd most like to see, and who'd be best suited to help me, if teleport transport was possible, and if I could pick! I learn something from each of the many good people who share their knowledge with the pubic here though. UA-cam is a modern day gift of enormous magnitude.
It sounds like you've had quite the journey in discovering and understanding your OCPD and BPD. It's great that you're able to recognize these traits and work towards recovery. Keep pushing forward!
Smiles Grateful With Room to Improve
Thankyou Dr Fox
I have OCD and never told a Dr
I've always called this broke OCD as this is how it was explained to me initially. With all the diagnosis given it sounds like simply put it is OCD of thoughts.
I have BPD and OCPD, but not OCD. both of these disorders have given me anxiety, panic disorder and depression. With the help of A LOT of journaling and meditation and DR. FOX (Thank YOU, SERIOUSLY!) and medication, I have been able to manage my BPD and have it under control and also get rid of the anxiety, panic disorder and depression. it has been amazing being able to do that! However, I fell utterly stuck in my OCPD and I am as RIGID with my rules and order and my idea of perfection as I ever have been and I really have no idea how to even begin to improve on it! *sad face* and I know that if I don't do something about it, I am very much at risk of getting depression or anxiety again. I'm playing a risky game with my own mental health and don't know how to stop...
My OCPD also gave me an eating disorder in the past, but I managed to free myself of it but now after two years of having no eating disorder, I yet again find myself walking on the fine line between eating normally and full blown eating disorder. Not a safe place to hang out for a long time..
Anyway, rambles aside, the poor insight things with OCPD is very real!!!!
Yes I do this, if I don't put matching pegs on my washing line, don't leave anything on its own so it has a friend (inanimate objects) put everything in its place, check and do my make up 3 times etc, I can't leave the house and get on with my day......it takes me 3 to 4hrs to leave my house.......yes because no one else does it right 😡.......yes it's my way or no way!!!!!
Ooooooooo self shaming that's me!!!!
This was interesting because I show a lot of these overlapping traits but not in a way that interferes with my external life. I am trying to go to therapy and find out what I’m struggling with so I can get help, but it’s confusing when it has to “interfere with your life” to be diagnosed. My internal life is near-constantly distressing and my very close interpersonal relationships are where a lot of these patterns show up, but since I appear fine at work, in academic settings, and with friends, I am not “having enough problems” to get a diagnosis. It’s really perplexing
I just remembered, I read a book that changed my life & that is another big thing that helped me. I was a book called Bitterness & it made me lookat myself & acknowledge my hurt & then take responsibility for how I handled it... I had a friend tell me I was going to want to stop reading it & think the person who wrote it was evil & lying, but to push past it AND WOW! I did make it to the end anthe power and responsibility it helped me to take was life changing!
They also have other books called Unloving, I think Rejection & a few more...
Who was the author?
@@wendyleeconnelly2939
Henry W. Right
It is a "Christian" book if that's not your thing, no matter what it's good! BUT make sure if you start it that you finish it, otherwise it's like starting a surgery and not finishing and closing up! It opens you up to your deepest self & if you don't get to the end of it with the healing it can leave you almost worse than before... VERY deep books! I am thinking of reading the ones I have again!
Another great video. It'd really interesting to hear your thoughts at some point about the new direction the ICD has taken, essentially scrapping the old personality disorders and instead focussing on traits. I believe this is because they believe that many of the different personality disorders can be different manifestations of the same underlying problem(s) and so it's artificial to split them into separate personality disorders as the DSM does. (Reflecting perhaps the thoughts of people like Otto Kernberg who believed that narcissism was a defence mechanism against an underlying borderline personality type).
Love the content....makes me think even more I have both BPD and OCPD ...any info to help me tame my inner beasts I'm grateful for, thank you ❤️
Excuse me to share one OPCD Example:
Writing a simple short informative email to a co-worker takes almost an hour in format, font, “maybe another color than black? Lemme try this Black but 1% lighter… “my signature doesn’t look good🤔 Maybe needs one click larger”.. “How about a shade to the logo pic in my signature... Wait lemme make all the signature letters Titled same degree as the logo’s shade...
Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Helpful video. Thanks Doc.

I had this. It was awful but I overcame it. My opinion is anxiety disorders are biologicial and hormonal in nature largely. They are worst when we're young. In my case, I would wash my hands repetitively every day for at least an hour...
Why? It was to stop my eyes shrinking. Sounds weird I know. That was part of the shame which re-inforced the ocd.
It was, I know realised thanks to Therapy, a 'displacement' anxiety stemming from a childhood. Back then, I felt a deep sense of shame around certain issues.
The washing activity helped to dissipate this shame and anxiety. That's how it becomes a ritual. It's self re-inforcing.
The rituals began aged 17 and peaked at 23 by which time I couldn't leave the house due to panic. The rituals helped me to assuage my anxiety. I learnt other strategies, exercise being crucial. In the end I got referred to a NHS psychiatrist who, I feel, saved my life.
It sounds like your comment disproves your opinion of biological nature if your therapist came from the displacement and shame of your childhood
@@briannawaldorf8485 On reflection, yes it does! But. I think there needs to be a biological / genetic potential present in the first place which is then dialled up or down by the environment and stress derived there-from;
I don't panic these days at all. Is that because I learnt to control the panic? I I don't believe so
I know why it was happening now nbut I believe that the "feeling" of panic was basically driven by hormones, the same way young men are generally more criminal and aggressive because high Testosterone drive their thinking processes.
@@briannawaldorf8485 I spend way too long on UA-cam in the evenings and I concede some of my comments elude Quality Control !
My bpd wife is making my life miserable.. is there any hope?!
Meds are not helping except for Lamictal’ sometimes and i somehow arrogantly do not trust the DBT approach.
DBT is the leading treatment. No meds are approved to treat bpd. If you do not trust the leading medical treatment sounds like a you problem
Iv'e still got some washing machine products that date back as far as 2004🙂🤔

I wish they still used the term "anakanastic personality disorder" to minimize the confusion... oh wait... that would be just one more personality disorder that started with an A.
True.
ocpd: miserliness, rigid, inflexible, can't delegate, hoarding useless objects
If you're attempting to use NLP, the hand gestures are very distracting. If not, ignore me because I'm a whacko.
This was very insightful! Thank you very much for sharing on OCD and BPD, I certainly find your videos on these to be helpful. 🫶🏻
