Top 10 Characters with OCD in Film and TV
How obsessive is too obsessive? Welcome to and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Characters with OCD in Movies and TV. For this list, we’re looking at big and small screen characters that seem to have prominently visible obsessive-compulsive disorder issues. These characters’ OCD behaviours are much more than mere tendencies, and are more like necessities that need to be done repeatedly. However, they don’t necessarily have to have been diagnosed with OCD to qualify.

At least one of these was ocpd, not ocd
Howard Hughes is not a movie character. He shouldn't be on this list.
Brushing your teeth 12 times a days and flossing every 90 minutes would not give you clean teeth. It would rub away your gums and enamel and destroy your teeth. Also, your mouth would be bleeding every day.
Sory, Sheldon isn't loveable or likable. He is annoying as shit. I liked every other character on the list, though.
Mark Furness clearly has Tourretts Syndrome, not OCD…
These OCD charactors are impressively funny
And that's why Monica was my favorite character; I could relate with her tge most! Definitely have an obsessive tendency to clean and organize, and frankly I like it that way.
MONK No 5 RLY????
Why isn't Adrian Monk #1?
People are not 'OCD'… People are diagnosed with 'OCD'… People have 'OCD'…
Barry Egan in Punch-Drunk Love. Great performance. Great movie.
I have OCD and I immediately like every character with the disorder no matter how crappy the characters are…. It's weird….
Monks assistant is the cutest blonde i have seen.
That was Faye Dunaway..not Joan Crawford
Sheldon's "OCD" is more like Asperger's Syndrome
How about top 10 fictional characters that MAY have autism/Asperger's syndrome
Please fuck off.
OCD And OCPD are two VERY DIFFERENT things. OCD is an anxiety disorder, while OCPD is classified as a personality disorder, the two are NOT EVEN RELATED. Joan Crawford did not have OCD. People with OCD know that their compulsions are unreasonable but they are compelled to do them anyway out of the fear that something horrendous will happen if they don't go though with their compulsion.OCD is first and foremost an anxiety disorder all of the outward observable behaviors are a product of intense fear or dread. The compulsions (of people with OCD) rarely extend to other people. OCPD more accurately describes Joan Crawford, people who have OCPD are not aware that their compulsions are unreasonable and they expect others to react the same to things that are not perfectly done or perfectly clean. People With OCPD become angered or frustrated when others don't do things the way they want them because they (the OCPD person) believes that their expectations of perfection and cleanliness are normal and the way things should be.
I had ocd to last year but I'm over it since 7 month
"The person doesn't have to be diagnosed to qualify." It's shit like this that makes ignorant people run around saying they have OCD when they don't, which only contributes to the trivialization of the illness.
what about danny from full house

How delusional is too delusional?
Howard Hughes was a real person. He doesn't count!
What about Levi from attack on Titan
Ocd is more than cleaning and organizing. I wish there were more movies and shows on the intrusive thoughts side of ocd, which i tend to suffer with the most
Death the kid???????
:/
Monk should be 1
why no women in the list?
funnies portrayals are entertaining but are just not real.
Sheldon has Aspergers and doesn't has OCD
Honestly, the only reason I'm not totally displeased with this list is because of Leo's performance of Howard Hughes. That performance was an amazing representation of OCD, great acting by Leo
OCD… or OCPD? Feels like some have one, not the other.
Doesn't Sheldon have Asperger's?
PISSED BLOOD!
