What are negative stereotypes for OCD?
I think that nearly all stereotypes of OCD can be negative depending on the person. Somethings can really hurt people's feelings and make them feel conscious . Some asume that people with OCD are clean freaks, perfectionists and like to count everything and do things a certain number of times. These stereotypes are not applicable to every single person with OCD. When people are victims to this type of stereotyping they can lose a lot of self confidence and the disorder can be made worse by the person trying to correct it. Hope this helps!! XX

Did the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder hurt people?
The answer depends on what you mean by "hurt." If you mean can someone with OCD harm another person in a violent manner, the answer is probably not, but possibly depending on the situation and if the person has any other co-morbid psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, attachment disorder or antisocial personality disorder.People with OCD may present with obsessions regarding germs, numbers, or collecting objects or other elements regarding controlling and ordering the chaotic aspects of life. But just because a person exhibits some of these traits does not necessarily mean they have OCD. They may have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder or may have an Autism Spectrum Disorder or may even have garden variety Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The only person that can objectively diagnose OCD is a doctor, preferably a Psychiatrist. If the person is a child, it is critical that the doctor specializes in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.Living with a person with OCD can be difficult, especially if he or she refuses any form of treatment and refuses to alter their behavior to make cohabitation more manageable. Behavioral therapy such as exposure and response prevention and/or medication such as SSRIs can make life more manageable, both for people with OCD and those who live with them.
