OCD Screening Assessment
What Is the OCD Screening Test?
Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety.
This OCD screening questionnaire is designed to help identify common symptoms associated with obsessive–compulsive patterns, such as repetitive checking, excessive cleaning, intrusive thoughts, or the need for symmetry.
Each item measures the level of distress or interference caused by these symptoms. The total score helps estimate the possible severity of obsessive–compulsive symptoms.
Higher scores may suggest clinically significant obsessive–compulsive symptoms that may benefit from professional evaluation.
Screening tools like this are commonly used to identify individuals who may require further assessment by a qualified mental health professional.
What Does This Mean?
This score reflects the severity of symptoms based on your responses.
Early professional assessment can help clarify diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment options.
