How Is OCD Diagnosed?

Only trained therapists can diagnose OCD.
Therapists will look for three things:

• The person has obsessions,
• He or she does compulsive behaviors, and
• The obsessions and compulsions take a lot of time and get in the way of important activities the person values, such as working, going to school, or spending time with friends.
