You're usually diagnosed with OCD when it is a problem for your life. My father was never diagnosed coz he was able to keep it in check & also channel it into meticulousness. I was because I was hospitalised seven times for it. I've been almost entirely on top of it for 15 years.
Almost never think about it now. At times I find it trying to crop up in little ways but I can nip it in the bud. http://helenpluckroseblogs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/a-personal-account-of-religious-ocd-and.html …
