If you identify with any of the above signs and symptoms of OCPD, you may benefit from talking to a mental health professional. It may be time to seek help if: You always say, “my way is the right way,” or “nothing is right unless it happens this way.” Others have told you that you are stubborn, rigid, or excessively perfectionistic. You experience repeated interpersonal conflicts or problems at work because you feel that others are not doing things correctly. You feel anger or turmoil if someone challenges your rules or how you do things. A loved one has encouraged you to seek treatment.
