If you're face to face with it, it's easier to see the difference.
My husband has OCPD. He's never been to a therapist or psychiatrist to be diagnosed. But my therapist is confident that my husband's self assessment was correct. He's not the most extreme sort, but it is obvious.
He also has some OCD traits, but you can tell the difference when he's exhibiting one vs the other. *He* can tell the difference too.
I have OCD. My husband considers it unfortunate that I don't have more OCPD traits. :)
I wish they'd change the name. It's not the same thing at all. Both of them come from anxiety, but that's about it.
