I know, but they do. I find it annoying. OCD has less stigma attached to it than schizophrenia so really I would hope the psychiatrist considered everything before making the diagnosis. I don't think he did. Not that I am hoping someone will say it's OCD just to alleviate the stigma, I don't think it is straight forward.
