I have noticed OCD is a broader diagnosis in America compared to Europe. Goes for bipolar as well. Then of course there are forms of of OCD that are less well known like pure O and pure ambivalence OCD. Most patients with OCD and another type of anxiety know what is what, just from the feel of it.

Unrelated there is a huge ongoing study here which I participated in. So now they have my DNA. I wonder how genetics are related to OCD, I hope they come up with something interesting, they are also comparing to dysmorphia, hoarding and tics on a genetic level.
