OCD Assessment

Do I have OCD?

The OCD Excellence assessment aims to give you a basic indication of whether you might have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Please answer each question without spending too much time thinking about it. We will be testing for general OCD traits and more specific sub-type indicators. At the end you will see your result and an explanation of what it means. ALL INFORMATION ENTERED REMAINS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. By taking this assessment you acknowledge that the information in this assessment tool is provided “as is” for general information only. It is not intended, or to be construed, as medical advice, diagnosis and treatment, and is not a substitute for in-person consultations with qualified health professionals who are familiar with your individual medical needs.
