Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Diagnosis & Tests
The person's own description of the behavior usually leads to diagnosis of the disorder. A physical examination is performed to rule out physical causes, and a psychological evaluation is given to rule out other psychiatric disorders. Questionnaires, such as the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, can help in making the diagnosis.
