So trying hard in college is now known as a form of OCD?
amen brother
I thought the same exact thing
Those daym farmaceuticals, always be tryin’ to find a new unexisting disease to get into your wallet
‘Farmaceuticals’? First of all, its Pharmaceuticals. Second, a pharmaceutical is a chemical compound also known as a drug, or a medicine. I don’t believe the medications have any desire to get into your wallet.
Nah they want to be in your bloodstream. Pharmaceutical Companies however want your money
Wow. Remove stick from ass, please.
Kindly get a Sense of Humor. You will find them right next to the Clue Supplements, Life Kits, and Room GPS’s at your local Wal-Mart.
But I have a desire to shove my dick into your mouth
There’s a difference between trying hard in college and refusing to miss ONE lecture or go out with friends. I tried hard in college and I still went out on the weekends and missed some classes. I ended up with a 3.8 GPA.
I’m sorry, but college isn’t that hard.
Try med school.
I sure hope you don’t think that your college degree is on par with a medical degree. It’s incredibly hard to get a MD, which is why med students are notorious for exhibiting this behavior. It’s not because they have a psychological disorder, it’s because if you don’t work your ass off you’re not getting a degree.
Um, sorry, but were you a medical student? It’s very demanding. refusing to miss a lecture to go out with friends is called responsibility. It would be different if he was refusing to miss a lecture to go to his grandmother’s funeral or something.
And as for your statement that “college isn’t that hard”… good for you, maybe you are the most intelligent person ever and you don’t have to work that hard, or maybe you went to a less demanding school and weren’t studying to become a health professional.
^ this
considering you’re acting like a pompus ass, did you by any chance take business?
that would explain both the GPA and your attitude.
hahaha, excellent. (correct answer is probably B)
Considering he’s a medical student, I’d be worried if he didn’t want to attend all of the lectures.
Oh yeah great. So now you have a disorder for not being lazy? ô.o
So according to this, all the good medical students have OCD, or at least OCD traits. WTF
If that’s a disorder, i want my doctor to have it.
^This

This is pretty funny but the answer would definitely be C
^ clearly the student from the vignette…
The answer is Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. The key difference between OCD and OCPD is a person with OCPD is typically not in distress from their beliefs (i.e. ego-syntonic). A person with OCD would have to attend class or they would have to go and sit in the room until the class was held again (or something like that).
I’m a medical student, and this is really how 95% of us live. The answer to this question was perfect.
And just so you know, about half to three quarters of the class in medical school doesn’t actually go to class. Independent learning FTW.
Congratulations. You feel smart yet?
I’m a psychologist, and I think the answer is C, not B, DrJones. The person in the example is able to maintain a romantic relationship, and the text doesn’t say that his behavior is causing him any distress. So — traits, yes; full-fledged disorder requiring treatment, no.
And, yes, these traits are on the normal side of the spectrum.
I went into the psychologists office when I was 10 year old for my constant nightmares and he told me I have ADHD. He didn’t even help me get over my fears! I had to do it myself!
I think psychology is a little one sided.
Ive been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, severe OCD, and severe depression. I’m 15 years old
Tbh i hope the psychologists did go to lectures- if theres one person i trust anymore its Sarah (my psychologst
)
that doesn’t explain why you think it is OCPD. I’m not a doctor, but someone close to me had OCD so i read up quite a bit on OCD, OCPD and the differences.
OCPD and OCD can manefest themselves in similar ways: with anxiety, and inflexable routines. A general rule of thumb is that with OCD, a person feels that they must do something a certain way, but with OCPD a person feels that EVERYONE must do it that way because it is just the RIGHT way.
given only the context of the question, i wouldnt really say that it is OCPD, although it could be. Considering the question lacked any information that would conclusivly make it OCPD, i agree with most people here that C is the right answer
F. The desire to get a decent grade.
F. U jelly?
Sounds a lot like me. So I have a disorder, huh?
I like how you are all so high and mighty “oooooh is that normal, wtf?”
The answer is C people. Read the fucking answers. The answer is C. Those are OCD (and here’s the big word to get those panties out of your ass) TRAITS. Does it mean he has OCD? Nope. Does it mean he’s normal? Yup.
People please learn to read before you jump on every band wagon.
Based on what I’ve seen of college students these days, this is completely NOT normal behavior. My husband has been TAing for some classes, and the number of people who cheat OVERTLY is astonishing. Oh, I’m sorry, the number of people who cheat overtly and then whine when you catch them about how haaaaaaaaard they studied.
Thank you, medical student, for going to class and taking notes. Can you be my doctor someday instead of the apparently normal people?
This. One Hundred Thousand Times, This. Such a high quality One Hundred Thousand Times that it must be spelled out and capitalized.
“F” was indeed the correct answer.
Where is your husband TAing? Remind me to never transfer to that school.
I don’t know what kind of a school your husband TAs at, but we all generally work hard at the university I attend. There are some students like the ones you describe, but they never get past the first year. I’m surprised you don’t find this normal behavior.
He is probably a TA in a freshman level class. Those people won’t live to see Upperclassman status.
The answer is C as many people before have said. The operative word there is TRAIT. Meaning while he exhibits traits associated with OCD, he is still under the threshold for an actual diagnosis of OCD.
And for the ‘college is easy’ people – I am sure your state school degree in communications or philosophy was easy. Bless your heart(s).
Hell yes. I want this person for my doctor too. Do I expect them to make friendly chat with me? Are we going out for a beer later? Hell no – I want them to fix whatever’s broken or sick.
And with a girlfriend?
I seriously envy that guy
I don’t know why you people are bringing college into the discussion here. What makes this picture funny is that it’s so true..about MED SCHOOL. College is (academically) a joke compared to med school. This behavior is very acceptable and typical for med students.
Med school is college.
Not necessarily. ‘College’ usually refers to where you get your undergraduate degree, while ‘Med School’ is where you go for advanced training and an eventual M.D. (or whatever your preferred acronym is). My understanding is that most undergrad, pre-med hopefuls get their bachelor’s degrees in Human Bio or Anatomy or something like that before applying for a full-fledged medical school.
I might be wrong, since I’m not actually applying for med school, but I know a lot of people who are – I’m in a res college for sciences and some 80% of the students here are premed – but this is my understanding of the process.
Pretty sure the answer is B) OCPD.
Nevermind, I take that back. He only fits 2 of the DSM criteria for OCPD and he is doing well in school. I’ll go with C.
I’d go with C too. “He is doing well in school and has a girlfriend who is also a medical student.” To me that phrase is the point where i’d think that the aim of the question is to prove if the student knows how to distinguish between what’s a disorder, and what’s not. And in this case it is not, since he is doing well with his life and there isn’t any conflict.
However, the question itself is obviously a little prejudiced, so I’d say F is a fair answer that also answers the question’s purpose.
By the way, Knowledge of what? ¿The “dreaded” DSM?
+1 internet for u good sir
He sounds like … a guy who has a chance of succeeding in life ? :S
I wish I had that disorder :/
me too. I hate how everyone who comments here is so effortlessly over-achieving and motivated to do everything perfectly. I guess I’m slowly getting there…
I think you’re missing the point. The problem with this made-up character is not that he tries hard in school. I would hope that a future doctor would make an effort in school. The problem is that he is OBSESSIVE about it. The question states that he refuses to go out with friends at all. That’s not normal, not even for a med student. You can study hard in school without being anti-social. ‘Normal’ people go out with friends or work buddies on the weekends. Another problem is that he refuses to skip a lecture because he does not trust someone else to take notes for him. This is a trust issue. Now, even in med school, it is acceptable to miss a few classes. I’ve never met a college student that did not take a few days off. College is hard, guys, especially med school, and sometimes, people need a break.
I would think that the answer would be C. He has traits of the disorder but does not seem to have the full disorder. I was diagnosed with OCD as a child and I would PUNISH myself if my routines were messed up. The person in this problem does not seem to do this.
Finally, I don’t think this means there’s anything truly abnormal about this person. He might have OCD traits, but that does not mean that he needs medicine or something. Everyone has little quirks like that.
It does NOT say that he “refuses to go out with friends at all.” It says he prefers to study and work hard. Of course he doesn’t trust someone else to take notes for him, because it’s better to make your own notes. It’s ok to miss class once in a while, but not to go out and party with your friends. And he has time for a girlfriend, so it cant be that bad.
He is a dedicated student (probably a huge nerd), but I don’t think he has a disorder.
“Everyone has little quirks like that.” No, not everybody is an OCD-Freak just because they aren’t lazy. If something is normal, then it isn’t a disorder.
as other people have said… most people have OCD traits. that doesnt mean you have like… “mild-OCD” or something. it is normal.
People without OCD may have some of those traits, but also coping mechanisms to deal with it (they can dismiss persistant intrusive thoughts, or are able overcome having to break their routine).
C really is just a normal person.
also, you probably shouldnt say “OCD-Freak” to someone who had OCD… its not like they choose it or like it.
just great, goals, hard work and dedication is now a mental health issue, we are so as a country.
Mental disorder or not, he is gona ace that class.
