Six characteristics of OCD

1. Overestimation of Risk 2. Excessive feelings of responsibility 3. Controllability 4. Overimportance of thoughts 5. Intolerance of ambiguity 6. Perfectionism

People with bipolar disorder may share some of these characteristics. I certainly deal with 3, 4 and 5 regularly!
