OCD or Something Else? Differential Diagnosis in Clinical Practice

A counseling session with a young woman in a beige hoodie sitting on a gray couch, talking to a therapist or counselor. The counselor is partially visible, taking notes. The room has artwork, bookshelves, and a potted plant.

OCD symptoms can look like anxiety, trauma, or even personality disorders—leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. This training gives you practical strategies to recognize when symptoms point to OCD versus another condition, helping you make clearer diagnostic decisions and strengthen treatment planning.
