ICD-Code F60.5: Anankastic personality disorder
You have a personality disorder that is characterized by a strong need for control and order.
Everyone has personal characteristics that are deeply rooted. The personality involves certain patterns: how one things, feels and behaves. With a personality disorder, these patterns differ greatly from the majority of the population. This can be very stressful and lead to difficulties in daily life. It may also cause problems at work or in social relationships.
If you have a strong need for control and order, you normally like to plan everything in detail. It may be difficult to make decisions because you weigh up every detail. You may be very strict with yourself and others. You usually want to make everything perfect. As a result, tasks may take an unnecessarily long time to complete or may be left unfinished.
