Do you know the difference between OCD and OCPD?

Over my 25 years as a Clinical Psychologist, I've seen this misunderstanding come up time and time again. A client comes in complaining that they or their partner has OCD, but they actually have OCPD, and vice versa. One presentation is a debilitating anxiety condition, the other is a personality type. 

Have a listen. You might recognise these conditions in people in your life?
