OCD Test

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t about being “neat” or liking things a certain way. It’s usually a cycle of intrusive thoughts, images, or doubts (obsessions) that create anxiety—followed by mental or physical behaviours (compulsions) that are done to feel certain or safe.

This OCD test is a short self-check to help you understand whether OCD patterns may be showing up for you, and which part of the cycle is strongest right now—intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, or reassurance-seeking. Your results include personalised feedback on what may be maintaining the cycle, and a clear next step to getting help.

This is an educational self-check, not a diagnosis. If your answers suggest significant distress, consider speaking with a qualified professional—OCD is very treatable with the right support.
