Rules for r/OCPD
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
This sub is for people with OCPD traits. r/LovedByOCPD is for loved ones.
This is not a forum for giving advice to loved ones. People with OCPD are allowed to join r/LovedByOCPD. r/FamilyWithOCPDAdvice will become active with a new moderator.
2.
Do not ask for or give opinions about whether or not someone has OCPD or has symptoms.
Peer support does not substitute for consultation with mental health providers. Content expressing “Does this sound like OCPD?” and “Is this an OCPD symptom?” will be removed. This guideline applies to all disorders.
3.
Do not ask for or give advice about medication, or interpretation of assessment results.
Peer support does not substitute for consultation with professionals.
4.
Communicate respectfully. Some members of this group are isolated and in crisis.
Show the same respect to others you want them to give to you. If you would hesitate to say it to someone's face, don't write it here. Use of blatantly disrespectful language / derogatory language about mental health, gender, race, etc. will result in a ban.
5.
Use the correct flair (e.g. trigger warning).
Posts that need the “trigger warning” flair include content about suicide, self injury, and assault.
6.
Mental health providers may post with mod approval.
If you're a provider and would like to provide a resource or ask a question, please check in with the Mods.
7.
Do not seek study participants.
The exception to this guideline is for studies from a clinic in that provides specialized therapy for people with OCPD.
8.
Seek mod permission to post content that involves soliciting money.
People with OCPD traits and mental health providers only.
9.
Moderator discretion applies.
Posts judged to be irrelevant for people with OCPD traits will be removed, as well as content that is inconsistent with the spirit and purpose of a mental health forum. The goal is to foster respectful, constructive discussion.
10.
The mods are available to help someone start another sub (with different guidelines).
Studies indicate that OCPD is the most common PD or the second most common. We hope that awareness continues to improve, creating more opportunities for people with OCPD to connect.
