I want to take suggestion regarding one case. A patient is too much perfectionsist, he arranges his book in special form , arranges shoes neatly , very clean. But he does not have any conflict in mind. All his thoughts are ego -syntonic. I repeat , all his thoughts are "ego syntonic". But his family member complains that he is too much perfectionist. But the patient is really okay with all what he is doing. I guess it can be classified as Obsessive Compulsive personality (cluster C) trait but not as OCD. Do you think , such patient can be started with SSRI ?

Do not stay in bed for long. Itâs a trap, itâll leave you alone with thoughts for longer time. GET OUT OF YOUR BED
When you feel the compulsive urge of doing something taking over- shut your eyes, squeeze a piece of paper. Throw it out. Go out for a walk. Do not give in to the urges, itâs not worth it
Have a routine that you stick to: Not a routine thatâs absolutely inflexible, but one that includes some of your best interests. Mine is making coffee, reading something, writing something, sitting with my breakfast near a window.
Whenever you feel you are losing your mind - Remind yourself of you. The real you. Look at old pictures of you, look at the human you were - the fierce young soul you were. And you are that - no matter what your mind is tricking you into
For the love of hell and heaven, please workout heavily. Join a gym if you want, please start shaking your body to senses.
Eat a very good diet. Your diet rules everything. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT mess with your food
Take a bath in the first hour or two of waking up. Feel fresh and confident
Change your wardrobe to a more confident, yet comfortable clothing style
Meditate for a while. It helps a lot. It helps you to calm down.
Pray - Thatâs something you can do your own way. But itâs always okay to ask universe to send some help.
Train your brain to do better than this. Take absolute control over your brain again - remember, nobody can get away by tricking you; not even your own brain. Take control of the thoughts.
You are not crazy. Itâs all right. You are absolutely amazing

Thank you for your question. A very interesting point you have put forward. Two possibilities here
1. Patient is having no insight about his illness, hence he doesn’t find a problem with it.
2. It is due to OCPD and that can be corrected with psychotherapy.
