Worried about OCD? Let's talk about self-assessment quizzes
Hey everyone! I've been seeing a lot of online 'how to tell if you have OCD quizzes' lately. While it's great that people are becoming more aware of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, I'm concerned that these quizzes might not provide accurate information or cause unnecessary worry. Have you or someone you know ever taken one of these quizzes? What was your experience?

I took one of those quizzes out of curiosity, and it did make me question whether I have OCD. However, I realized that only a professional can diagnose OCD. These quizzes can't replace a proper evaluation and might even contribute to stigma.
That's a great point! Online quizzes can't replace a professional assessment. They might help you identify some OCD symptoms, but it's essential to consult a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
Exactly! And it's important to remember that OCD is not just about being neat or organized. It involves intrusive thoughts and compulsions that interfere with daily life. These quizzes may not cover the full spectrum of OCD symptoms.
