OCD quiz

OCD self-screening diagnostic quiz

This short quiz is a self-screening diagnostic tool and not an official medical diagnosis. Only a licensed mental health professional can provide a formal evaluation.

1. Do you experience intrusive or unwanted thoughts that show up repeatedly, even when you try to push them away?
2. Do you feel a strong urge to perform certain actions or rituals (like checking, counting, cleaning, or arranging) to reduce anxiety or prevent something bad from happening?
3. Do your thoughts or behaviors feel excessive or hard to control?
4. Do your obsessions or compulsions take up a noticeable amount of time in your day?
5. Do these thoughts or behaviors interfere with work, school, relationships, or your ability to enjoy daily life?
6. Do you experience intense discomfort if you try not to perform a ritual or routine connected to your worries?
7. Do you worry about contamination, germs, harm coming to yourself or others, or things being “not quite right”?

This quiz is a self-screening diagnostic tool and not an official medical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your symptoms, schedule a free 20 minute consultation with Dr. Maria Staropoli-Hafner for a full evaluation and personalized treatment recommendations.

Dicsclaimer

The questions in this quiz reflect key features of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). They are designed to screen for common OCD-related experiences, including intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviors or mental rituals, and the extent to which these symptoms may be distressing, time-consuming, or disruptive to daily life.

This quiz is intended as a screening and educational tool, not a diagnostic assessment. Set an appointment to determine whether DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for OCD are met and discuss appropriate next steps for care.
