Extreme orderliness and rigid routines with attention to detail and rules are characteristic symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This disorder involves the presence of obsessions (recurrent, intrusive thoughts, impulses, or images) and/or compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts). These obsessions and compulsions can cause significant distress and interference in one's daily life. However, individuals with OCD may feel that these behaviors help them maintain control and reduce anxiety.
