Note: A formal diagnosis is not given unless the criteria makes it disabling for the patient. Also, this disorder is not diagnosed often because society tends to view order and perfectionism as a virtue, even if the patient is suffering due to the condition.

In my case, I do meet the criteria needed to consider my case OCPD, however, this personality traits have never made my life disabling or persistent.
Criteria for OCPD (301.4)

(1) is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost
(2) shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met)
(3) is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity)
(4) is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)

(6) is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – Part 1
Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses what is termed obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD.
Dr. Breeding discusses potential psychological causes of an obsession or a compulsion as well as how to discharge negative emotion and love oneself.
Psychiatry often prescribes psychotic medications for obsessions and compulsions. Off label medication are often prescribed for this problem including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiety medications, antidepressants, etc.
Common OCD medications include Paxil, Prozac, Luxox, Zoloft, Lexapro as well as a number of SSRI antidepressants. Other medications often prescribed but not necessarily approved for OCD by the FDA include, Neurontin, Lamictal, Zyprexas and Risperdal. All of these medications have undesireable side effects and do not address the underlying cause of the psychological disorder. None of these drugs are actual cures.
