For those of you have been officially diagnosed with OCD, what different tests did your psychologist/ psychiatrist do before your diagnoses?

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is the most widely used. It is available in many OCD books and is probably online as well if you are looking to “test yourself”. It can be used during the course of treatment to track progress as your OCD improves.

Unfortunately none. You just fill out a survey and talk to them. To my knowledge there is not a physical test to be taken. God bless.

Not what you're looking for?
