Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder is distinct from obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and the relation between the two is contentious. Some studies have found high comorbidity rates between the two disorders but others have shown little comorbidity.[5][6] Both disorders may share outside similarities, such as rigid and ritual-like behaviors. OCPD is highly comorbid with other personality disorders, autism spectrum,[7][8] eating disorders,[9] anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use disorders.[3]
The disorder is the most common personality disorder in the United States,[10] and is diagnosed twice as often in males as in females;[4] however, there is evidence to suggest the prevalence between men and women is equal.[3]
