This just made me realize I might have a very minor case of OCD... I'm afraid to say I actually do unless I am officially diagnosed with it, but I think there's a possibility because I check and recheck everything. And then recheck... And then check again... Then it gets to the point where I just tell myself "This is ridiculous, you've checked it at least 10 times(and sadly, that is not an exaggeration). It was fine the last time you checked it, and the time before that, and the time before that." Then I have to make myself leave it alone. If it's a message and I force myself to send it, I cringe every time afterwards, and feel very, very uncomfortable until someone replies because I feel like they're going to say something negative about something I skipped over when proofreading the message. If it's a drawing, I get extremely uncomfortable if I don't keep checking it for mistakes when I'm finished. Often times I go back the next day and check it again at least 20 times within a few hours. Then the next day, and sometimes even the next day. Just anything I do, I get very nervous and uncomfortable if I don't keep checking things.
I don't know, does that sound like I may have a slight case of OCD or am I just assuming things?

Also, a minute after that scene with Cadence, we see her use it on herself when she's told that no one can do her ceremonial headdress. Maybe she struggled with something similar when she was younger.


There are many variations on this. For example, obsessive thinking. Intrusive thoughts are horrible. There's also ritualistic behaviour and habits that intrude on everyday life. These five categories are very very narrow in view.


I think I have OCD (Most likely Category four and five with a possibility of Checkers being in the mix; I tend to think that if I do something wrong, everything goes down hill and that I tend to get worked up over nothing like a small bump turning out just to being part of my awkwardly shaped skull (I was stuck in the birth canal for twelve hours because someone didn't tell my mom to push)) along with some form of ADHD (I tend to run around with random bursts of energy for no apparent reason and pace an awful lot). But I am medically diagnosed with Autism. So yeah, that doesn't help at all... Anxieties and motor ticks/random bursts of energy are amplified.


Whenever I'm at a grocery store at the checkout, if I see a bag of candy that is out of the correct box it's supposed to be in (let's say I see a packet of M&M's in the box of Skittles) I suddenly feel the urge to go organize all the candy while I'm waiting for my parents to finish checking out.


I was so ready to be mad or offended, but you really did stick to actual facts. It is so refreshing to see somebody not only talking about the stereotypical symptoms.
I've been diagnosed OCD since....oh god how old was I? Well it was when I still sat in the corner and played with toys while my mom talked to the physiologist about all my diagnosis and medications, so pretty early on.
I'm glad you didn't take the approach of Twilight being a perfectionist, which is what many others would do. Being a perfectionist means you have a desire for things to follow an order. With OCD there's no desire involved, it's a compulsion. I'm not unhappy because I stubbed one toe and not the other, my entire self is completely disturbed by it. It's a lot like having an itch. This is why it's hard to "just ignore it". While possible, it's not easy to deny yourself relief from it. It doesn't go away because you chose not to act on it.

One thing I will correct you on, is that not all arrangers focus on symmetry. A lot will focus on numbers or other methods of arranging. (Personally, it's symmetry for me.)

Thank-you for fair representation.

For all you self diagnose-ers in the comments, the real question is not if out of order things bother you, it's human nature to crave order to a degree, the question you need to ask is if out of order things bother you to the point of debilitating you. Is the need strong enough that you have to fix it even if doing so is to your own detriment? That stubbed toe example I gave? That's from real life experience. Is the need for balance strong enough that you're willing to walk into another wall to equal it out? THAT is what it is like to have OCD.


She's actually a bit of an arranger, I mean, she's ALWAYS arranging her books! She even stated that it was the most important thing to arrange books


"Does Pinkie Pie have ADHD?" Umm, lemme think about that for a second...... DUH! Pinkie is the definition of ADHD. I think in a lot of aspects, Dashie, too, has ADHD. Whilst Pinkie is just, well, Pinkie, Dashie just can't seem to help but make herself the centre of attention. That, plus she has an ego the size of the sun <b>coughDashiebestponycough</b>.

@Geoff Templeton dashies is ADD which is different then ADHD. people with ADD tend to be more calm but just cant pay attention while people with ADHD have almost no self control (this matures as they tend to get older). i have ADHD i know what it feels like ;_;


Im totally Twilight but I think I fall into a 6th category which is like the 5th category and I dont know if it should be in OCD. The 6th category is Overreacters and Overly Sensitive People. Those people are those who overreact and are too sensitive like when you just missed one lesson you go crazy about the next day when people keep asking you why you didnt go. This is an experience but then the next day its all just fine. They think those stuff would happen but in the end is just not what you expect. Also Im scared of bringing bags with kids cartoons to school because Im scared my friends would judge me and often go crazy about it. So I mostly belong to the 6th one. This category is 100% me and I cant cure myself from it.


For a while now I've been bothered if things aren't in perfect balance. If I'm playing a collect the stars game of I miss one star in a group it bothers me, and if I miss a key when  typing it makes me want to hit the key multiple times, and if someone doesn't erase all the marks on a whiteboard, I get bothered. Are these signs of ocd?


I fangirled when I saw the OCD music video by Rhett and Link SO hard....so so hard.


Are you sure she doesn't have Asperger's Syndrome? As a sufferer of said condition, I am seeing more than a few parallels.


The last episode of season three, Celestia and Luna had the Starswirled The Beardeth book when the main six rode off in a train. Celestia was probably always been waiting for the right time for Twilight to become princess


I'm totally a Counter and Arranger! At my desk I move my scissors and tape EXACTLY where there supposed to be like like 50 times a day. My mind says they're never in the right place. Same with other things too...


I always keep checking my pockets especially when im not at home. Scared if something drops out. I check every freakin minute on average O.O


I might have OCD and ADHD, first I always need everything symmetrical, I found this out when I made an entire minecraft mansion and demolished it because it wasn't symmetrical, ADHD part, I sometimes get distracted by dust flying around the room, a teacher actually asked what was I doing and i answered, "catching the floating thingie"


Actually, it is VERY possible, twilight does most definitely does doubters and sinners OCD, NOT washers, Hoarders, (OK maybe in trade ya, some do say that she does horde books, but she LIKES to read them, she doesn't horde books because she thinks something BAD will happen) not rlly counters and arangers so it MUST be doubters and sinners. AGREE!!!!!!


maybe twilight was more calm as a princess than she was as a unicorn was either because twilight was trying to give Ponyville a good example of being a princess she could give,or she doesn't have to worry about her studies anymore because she passed all her studies and became a princess, and when she was a unicorn AKA student of Celestia, she was trying to be the best student she could be so she wont fail her studies and be sent to magic kinder garten.

ps: I think that it's one of the theories of when she became a princess and when she was a student mixed together.


I think i have a light degree of washers ocd. I constantly was my hands even when i barely touched something. My skin is really dry because of this and i feel discust when i use handcream.


You could also see  The first episodes of season 4. She was worrying about going t Ponyville. She was like, "What if we lose the map on the way there?","What if we dont make it?","What if we lose the checklist and we forgot what we did and didnt do?"


so really, pinkamina dianne pie, and her sister actually show signs of being on the high funtioning autistic side of things.. it can manifest as hyperactivity disorder at times, while we are assigning human labels to cartoon characters. it can also manifest in not grasping metaphores ant taking peoples statements literally, weve seen both pinkey and her sister maud do this.. another traight pinkey shares with autistic people is the personal space issues. and sometimes our obsessions get the better of us..we also like regularity and will often do the repetition thing, like pinkey and the repeat party music perhaps?  its also really hard for us to get a point across to neural typical people in some situations.. we can get hung up on the details of a word.. <br>yup, not the ADHD:  aspergers, or high functioning autism..

My room is a pigsty, but my school notes have to be neat. I'm not afraid of germs, nor do I check to see if I locked the door 6 times. Although, if I bump my right elbow on something (sometimes someone) I have to do the same thing on my left. If my teeth rub against each other and make a noise, I have to try to do the same on the other side.

#relatable such relate, much same, very wow. but still im totally the same. i hate it when i use more force in one arm more than the other and have to put that same force on the other arm. this can sometimes go on a non-stop circle.


Just one thing, this video is about OCPD, obsessive compulsive PERSONALITY disorder

I suffer from chronic OCD, which involves being assaulted by thoughts and feelings that are completely out of my control
I uncontrollably imagine facing insects or fecal matter etc in my through, mouth or eyes, leading to terrible panic attacks


Cure for OCD confirmed: become a magical purple pony princess. Now we just need to figure out how to do it ourselves.


i am 11 and i can control my ocd but my hoarding is crazy i once kept a piece of food a really long time cause if i throw it away something might go wrong also sometimes i have to check my email like every 5 minutes its crazy


I don't have OCD, but I sometimes show symptoms and I say, "... it's affecting the OCD that I don't have"


She had a little freak out in Princess Twilight Sparkle part one over the fact that a visit to Ponyville might lead to her losing a checklist, some how leading into the celebration being ruined.


I'd like ot point out in the counters category, that she reselfs her books fairly often.


There is another example of Twilight's O.C.D. in A Canterlot Wedding pt 1. Before the opening credits, Pinkie Pie does a cartwheel across the picnic blanket. She puts one of her hooves on the top of the cake. As tiwlight is reading the scroll, her magic aura is seen reparing the top of the cake.


I think i have A.D.H.D, and I guess I might be a doubter (if we're talking about the OCD thing).


I have OCD. I fall in the counters and arrangers category. (I was actually trying to fix the screen on that part)


I've noticed something, at 1: 23 you said that it washers usually wash and decontaminate things frequently and rarely actually is afraid of dirt so what that mean rarity also has OCD


Hey BronyNotion! I was thinking about Pinkie Pie and I wanted to know. Can you do a video about Pinkie Pie being Bipolar? Thanks!


I actually thought you were gonna do a "Does Pinkie Pie have ADHD?" video. XD


Categories 4 and 5 fall into OCPD, not OCD. (I have a feeling he didn't actually watch the whale l whole R&L video that he mentioned)


i have ADHD and just a tab bit of OCD and a little bit of ESD but i have a diff ESD and the category for me of OCD is #5 but i'm like making sue everything all in the right spot and making sue pencils are straight and also.when drawings aren't done thou i try to stay it in control.


I still hope for another crazy twily episode. Yes, i'm a horrible person, but Lesson Zero 2 is something I doubt many people would dislike.


3:19 There's a new alicorn! Fandom lets give her a name and personality shall we!


Is it possible Twilight has OCD?
Just as possible that you or I have it. It's a thing and is possible. It's possible you have two heads. You don't but it's possible. Should be
Does Twilight have OCD?


I love that you pressed on this subject also I looked at your video about the royal guard and you are right they are alicorns


BTW Bipolar: A disorder in which someone acts in extremes


I was diagnosed with OCD. >.< God, it sucks. If you can't just give in to your OCD which nags at you from the back of your mind all the time, you literally want to scream.<br>IM TALKING TO YOU, TEACHERS, WHO FORGET TO ERASE THAT ONE LITTLE SPOT OF MARKER ON THE BOARD.

It's surly cause she wasn't a student anymore, so there wasn't so much to worry about. But in season 4 episode 1 Wien Twilight and Spike was done with Twilights flying practice, twilight freaked out about something I didn't really remember cause she was so upset, I couldn't understand, but I remember that it was about she was afraid that she should stay in canterlot forever.


you never knew twilight had a ocd.
twilight:I don't have a ocd
melody(me):yeah you do
twilight:NO I DONT
melody:what ever oh wait I put your books in the wrong order
twilight:AAAAAAAAAHHHH
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE MY SISTER!
melody:that's what I always thought.sigh.


My OCD song!!!!! Sorry couldnt help it 😅 LOL love Rhett n Link


Technically Twilight goes coo-coo when Rainbow Dash takes a test


i kinda take this offensive to me but it ok to admit i defintley have ocd i check on things like every 5 minutes my toys have to be organized same thing when i play minecraft or a game or some thing i always sort things and organize but if i dont i get fustrated or mad like twilight.


1 minute into the video.

I have unofficial OCD with colors,if anything is out of color i cant help but freak out.or if something is out of the lines,i just start all over again


i am OVER 9000 of the ODC thing even though i conserve some stuf i get rid of them some time later :/ so im not in the ODC category... :(


I think rarity falls into that second one. lol


You should make a video about if pinkie pie has ADHD I would like to hear what you have to say on that topic


I do not think I have OCD but I think my friend might have OCD and she falls into the washers category seriously she washes her hands ALL THE TIME!


in winter wrap up rarity puts stuff on a table and twilight organises it in seconds!


Please do "Does Pinkie have ADHD?"!! Please!!


Is it a good/bad thing to have these OCD? 'Cuz, I believe I got OCD too.


OCD could also mean Over Christmas Decorating XD LOL


I don't know if its really ocd but i like things symmetrical and folded corners on papers really irritate me.


I always have to check my notifications and make sure all my circles are <b>perfect</b>.

I always have to check my notifications and make sure all my circles are *perfect*.


Why would you make #4 look like that? T-T i'm dying inside


Almost all virgos have OCD I am one of those who dont

I HAVE A LIGHTER AND IT SHOOTS FIRE BALLS (runner rockers)


3:19 at the magic kindergarten scene, look on the left side at the yellow alicorn.
Perplexed me is perplexed.


You should do  "Does Pinkie Pie Have ADHD"


i like oganizing things so i think i might have a small case of OCD


Can you please make a video about pinkie pie having ADHD? PLEASE!!


I personally think twilight has more than just OCD I have reason to believe that twilight has aspugers syndrome


This is now official. Twilight Sparkle is Death the Kid. I love how he included the symmetry bit on counters and arrangers, but... IT'S NOT 4! SAY 8! 8 IS BETTER!

@Discorded i'm not the only one who thought that!!!!

@Discorded I'll just back away slowly now.

@Discorded Don't mean to crash the party, but it was 7. Not 4.

The Kid party shall last forever! HAHAHAHHA

@***** We must bring them together! They shall rule the world!! Muahahah!


Her OCD went away cause she died.... duh the wings the flashbacks 5 he horn being cept... she's an angel bro

0:16 OMG! It's Good Mythical Morning! YAYYYY


twilight has ocd. that was obvious since lesson zero


Rarity might be a washer.......she's afraid of dirt


Hey,in the magic kindergarten thing,who noticed the ALICORN pony?


I hate when my friend misspell something like:
Chicken= chiken
Pretzel = pretel
Judge = juge


Oh also today my teacher erased something and she didn't erase it fully and I started to freak out during class just staring at what was left


can you please do the pinkie pie has adhd i think that would be cool


i got to make things right make it the way its supposed to be,its my O.C.D


1,2,4,5 all sound like rarity, she might have O.C.D


GMM!

IIIII gotta make thing rightttt make it the way it's supposed  to be, it'd my OCD!


Please do an episode on does Pinkie Pie have ADHD


Yes she has on the season 4 premiere She was Freaking out for joust going to ponyville  and fail Princess Celestia


I swear i heard Rarity cry when you said dirt


Didn't she make a checklist about making a checklist?


I thought it was sorta a given that she had it...


+The Brony Notion But could u maybe make a video about Alicorns and normal ponies?
Cause I realised that Celestia, Luna and Cadence lived in over 1000 years without looking very old, but granny smith i guess her age is in the 70th but she look old.
Or a video about Granny smiths name, when she was a filly. I don't think it's Granny, cause Granny is normally a nickname for
"grandmother", so could u make an analyse?


I watch super happy fun time
And at the start stampy and squashy
We're talking about OCD alphabetical
Order makes sense?


It happend 3 times not 2 times in spike at your service, winter wrap up, and lesson zero


Oh no its no secret Twilight has OCD just like me.....hey that rhymes.


my video buffered halfway through but it did this weird thing where the video kept going without audio, except the spinning wheel was in the middle, I thought you were fucking with me.


Also the counters and a rangers state would be that guy from big hero 6 with those blades


I might have what pinkie pie has I'm just like her


My brother washes his hand a lot but not that much.


but wait there's more XD billy Mayes reference


Also rarity that would have the washer state horders would be that pony from the episode apple pie I think when pinky thought she was cousins with apple jack <br>


Omg I knew you would show the GMM video!

Now that twilight is a princess, she shouldn't be having OCD anymore, but the tinsiest but more stress because she has more royal duties.

@Tiny_Whale 🍮 < closest thing to a muffin

@Derpy Hooves I for one was very happy when you talked that one time.

You were good <b>tosses every-berry muffin</b>

You were good *tosses every-berry muffin*


She has it....Death the kid your not alone. I'm Counters and arrangers...


reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this unevine bugs me


"Twiilight hazent had a mager freek out at all as a princess" aham season 9 enyone?


Upon having OCD myself, I can plainly see that Twilight does indeed have it. Though I do feel that the problem area could also be with the organization category. Such as the birds nest supplies being arranged perfectly in Winter Wrap Up. I do agree with all of your points, but I feel that organization should be part of Twilight's "OCD diagnosis". The show has kind of explored most of these other symptoms, such as Rarity being a "washer" and Golden Delicious being a hoarder. (That one didn't need quotes, she's a hoarder alright...) But Twilight is where I see it the most, mainly in the category where someone worries that something awful will happen if the smallest detail is "wrong" (Much like myself.) but the obsessive organization is another key area that makes me think she has OCD. Thank you.

MERRY X-MAS PPLZ XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD   AND NOW FOR THE ALPHABET
AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz


There was also the whole scene in 'Winter Wrap Up' where Twilight went to help Rarity make birds nests and instantly she organised all of the items from the pile of supplies. I think she does have OCD for all the reasons you stated :)


Actually, I see that Twilight has Aspergers Syndrome. The doubters and sinners of OCD fit this disorder as well. And it makes sense with her mental breakdowns with schedules, her being jumpy when something is out of order and over-thinking things. Along with her social anxiety during the first season.


When Twilight became a princess, she changed,
1. She grew wings
2. She went from a unicorn to an alicorn
(3.) Maybe it also helped her to control her herself,
      in other words, it may have being able to take away 94.9 of her
      OCD.


I know you are not making a video for the next two weeks I believe but I would love your input on something I've just thought of.<br>Everything seems to have a specific meaning or representation of each lesson, character, or problem. What I mean is all characters or group of characters represent a particular social group. Now what I'm wound wrong is what does king sombra represent now it's clear discord is chaos and to me tirek is the lust and greed for power, nightmare moon is fear manifested into anger and resentment, but I do not know what sombra pertains to. Any thoughts?

I think Twilight does fit very well into Doubters and Sinners,but it's just weird to be mixing our diseases with Equestria.


I think it's pretty obvious Pinkie's ADHD. In "too many pinkie pies" the one thing they said she absolutely could not do was sit still and pay attention to something. I have a different question- Is Fluttershy autistic? Probably not, I know. I'm just starting to learn about autism, since my fiancé is autistic and she's pretty sure I am too, just undiagnosed. I'm going to have to rewatch everything and pay close attention to Fluttershy's behaviour. I know she's awkward and socially reclusive, she stumbles over her speech and I think she isn't always able to express her feelings effectively. I seem to recall her avoiding eye contact when she met Twilight, but I'm not sure if that persisted or if it was just her being shy about meeting someone. Maybe I'm reaching.


Actually you did miss one example of Twilight's doubters and sinners OCD in season 4 ep 1 Princess Twilight Sparkle where Twilight starts having another short panic and ends up flying up till she hit her head on the ceiling. So her doubters and sinners OCD has only appeared once since after Cadance taught her that breathing technique. So it's not completely gone but I guess it does make Twilight's improvement a bit more realistic in that she isn't totally 100% cured of it.


I hate OCD I have it and it can get really bad at time but I'm glad in this episode you show'd that you knew what OCD was, most people when they are talking about OCD just go off of organization and that's it but have no idea what OCD really is, but you made sure you had a good understanding of OCD before you made this so it's nice to know some people do their research, nice video bro


I got ocd, and adhd, and anxiety, so I pretty much freak out a lot, like part of my ocd is that I cant stand water on my skin, just a simple spray makes me freak out, (this is why I run away from showing, and washing my hands(not in the washers category) anyway I learned the simple way to stop it is to take control tell yourself nothings wrong (depending how badly you freak) when im so freaked out I cant do anything, or I go crazy and pin my mom to the floor (don't ask) (age 12)


for 3 all you said was "I don't think" and moved on.  Not to play byter friend, but the facts seem to be more compelling than your gut instinct.  I'd also say twilight does seem to have a compulsion, i mean how many times do you think they'd have to put it on the show?  As for 4 you could chalk it up to only one writer nailing twilight, or are you suggesting that one wrote her wrong?  Also she did have a break at the start of season 4.  As for Cadinces breath trick, I rather liked Voice of reasons analogy that in the same episode she flakes and blows it by hyperventilating using it.  The flaws make the character.  The main six in each way all suffer from some sort of screw lose.  I think this is done very intentionally.  Its nothing new, look at looney tunes, its just more noticeably with a bunch of us all eye balling it.


I totally agree that Twilight has OCD, she seems to show a lot of the symptoms of it


You're wrong about Twilight being a symbol  of help. At least in my case. She's a constant painful reminder of what in my estimation is a flaw. The doubter category also has another name and it's called scrupulosity. Your description of it is accurate however. In Lesson Zero Twilight's anxiety was obviously exaggerated for laughs, the problem is that it wasn't really an exaggeration. What the show portrayed visually is a fairly accurate depiction of what a scrupulous person struggles with internally. It's not so much humorous as it is extremely painful. I like Twilight as a character, but I like her a lot less since Lesson Zero. I felt such a sense of shame and mockery while watching it that I started to cry. I will NEVER watch that episode again. Do you know what is unhelpful for a doubter/scrupulous person? Telling them their anxiety is wrong. WE KNOW it's wrong, that doesn't take it away, and mocking them for it isn't particularly helpful either. So, no, Twilight is not a source of inspiration or healing. Having a character 'you can relate to' is not always what it's cracked up to be.


You could defiantly argue that she has but you could say most cartoon characters (especially FiM characters) have some kind of mental disorder because of how their personality's are stretched to extremities.


1:13
Yes it does cause distress when she does this, to Spike.
Yes it does interfere with her daily life, and takes up time.

So I'd have to say, yes she does show this.


i can generally say that i have O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder) and i fall into the fourth category counters and arrangers.Yes i do tend to make things in a pacific order like if i take colored pens/pencils into school i always like to put them in rainbow order or shade color (you know dark green to light green that sought of thing).I also hate if things are not centered or aligned together because in my mind it has to be in just the perfect position other wise my mind will explode so yeah i have O.C.D like twilight (sought of cause we don't fall into the same category as one another but you know what i mean).


I think I may show a few symptoms of OCD, including my recent need for everything to be neat and a feeling of constraint in messy rooms.


I think the mane 6's eyes might have something to do with how they are: AJ and RD have less eyelashes showing they don't care about their apperences. Rarity on the other hoof, has more eyelashes, caring about her apperence. Fluttershy gives a shy look to her eyes too. I don't have an explanation to Twilight or Pinkie Pie yet... but I'll try to think of one. c:


another example of her possibly having ocd is in winter wrap up she was the one to organize every single thing every time she got the chance


Yes, pinkie pie does have ADHD. I have ADHD, but attentive kind (I don't pay attention) and I have a friend with hyperactive kind (being really energetic). There is more that enough examples of pinkie being hyperactive kind and only a few leading towards attentive, I dunno it sounds stereotypical but it's true.


I have two question that I want you to figure 1. In the elements of harmony the elements are the the same thing as their cutie mark but not exactly and 2. If discord would be alert of the elements of harmony what element would he be


I KNOW Twilight has OCD. Everything always has to be in tip top shape and nothing can be out of place or she'll freak out (Lesson Zero and Winter Wrap Up, when she was making the baskets). I fall into the Counters and Arrangers category of things. I'm kind of a hoarder, but eventually I will throw stuff away, cause I am not going to become like those people on TV. UGH.


i liked this video alot and I have O.C.D too now that u mention it, I have the fifth choice to, so in a way I'm just like twilight (actually more than one way I'm exactly the same as her really),  I have really admired her and paid attention to almost everything she does and watched every single episode from season 1 episode 1 to season 4 episode 26


I don't agree. I'd say she has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, which is similar, but not the same. One of the big differences is that those with OCD experience their compulsions as intrusive and unwanted, whereas those with OCPD see them as rational displays of caution, which is clearly more descriptive of Twi. Another is an increased ability to choose delayed over immediate gratification in those with OCPD, and while I'm not sure there exists a specific example to prove that she displays this trait, I suspect that most people would join me in suspecting it to apply to her.

According to the DSM-IV (I guess nobody's updated this Wikipedia page yet), OCPD is present when four or more of the following symptoms are observed:

- is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost
- shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met)
- is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity)
- is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)
- is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value
- is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things
- adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes
- shows rigidity and stubbornness

It would be hard to deny that she's displayed at least symptoms 1 and 3, and really only 5 and 7 seem like symptoms she unambiguously doesn't have.

And if we look to Theodore Millons's subtypes, we see the "conscientious" subtype is characterized by (still quoting Wikipedia here) "Rule-bound and duty-bound; earnest, hardworking, meticulous, painstaking; indecisive, inflexible; marked self-doubts; dreads errors and mistakes." That definitely sounds familiar.

Of course, as you pointed out, if she has either OCD or OCPD, she doesn't have too bad of a case, and she's been getting it somewhat under control. But if it's either, I really do think it's OCPD.

I probably wouldn't know enough to go to Wikipedia for backup if I weren't self-diagnosed mildly OCPD myself.


I love your videos! Keep up the good work!!!


Did you know that a man who had OCD tried to commit suicide, but when he shot his head he destroyed the part of his brain that caused the OCD in the first place. Luckiest shot ever.


You missed something!  In Mmmystery on The Friendship Express, when Twilight used the pipe just after Pinkie Pie used it, she wiped it off.  A clear sign of OCD.


"Does Twilight have OCD?"

Wouldn't surprise me...


I have OCD, and it freaking sucks. I'll get it under control for almost a year, and then it comes back again. :/


You wouldn't understand why Twilight feels like that.


I have OCD aswell. And Autism too. It's nice to see even in Equestria I got colleagues


Rarity seems to fall into the "washers" category


I would actually like to see if you could diagnose PP (pinkie pie) with ADHD


i have a question and i hope you can answer this, do the ponies actually age and die?


Hi! If you've seen the Rainbow Rocks movie, can you do a video about what you're theories for what Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark means? Pardon my weird grammar.


All these disorders like OCD and ADD I see as just part of someone's personality. It's not really a "Disorder" it's just an aspect of someone is far above/below the average of that aspect.


I been diagnosed with O.C.D. and when you put the 4th symptom not looking neat and orderly I was actually really annoyed. O.C.D. sucks and I don't know why some people want it.

I'd also love to see "Does Pinkie Pie have ADHD?" because I also have been diagnosed with it. It may help me connect to the characters more.


Maybe her favorite Foal-sitter is the only one who now how to control her OCD.


Wait a minut. I check things over and over. And I keep things semetrimized. DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE OCD?!?


You said you wouldn't do a video about Pinkie Pie and ADHD, but... Why not? I'd find that interesting.


I have OCD, I freak out when someone uses my markers and puts them on the wrong place.....


My mum has OCD she always gose downstairs like 23 times to check that the tv was turned off then we have the front door she stops the car hallway down the road to make sure it's locked mum I love you


since were discussing Twilight  remember  equestria  girls  Twilight  didn't know her  place  in the  princess world  Celestia  raises the sun Luna raises the moon and Cadence rules the crystal empire well I think  place is being the gate keeper of both worlds like the avatar  in avatar the last air bender


I DO NOT HAVE OCD! now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go iron my mane.


I think she did have ocd but it stopped a little in season 4


I gota make things right!  Make it the way it's supposed to be, it's my OCD!


Is it bad that new Sunset Shimmer is my new favorite character, as opposed to my usual Pinkie favoring?


when they go to a place where you can trade she has books to trade she knows what the books are for like when she meet pinkie!


HE USED THE MY OCD SONG MY GOOD MYTHICAL MORNING!!!!!


i think u are right. but i think she have it because of stress. before she became a princess, she had to learn more about the magic of friendship. and when she became a princess, she was like.. free? but the strees was gone, cause like every student have to learn and study, they always get stressed. and in season 3....POOF... PRINCESS!!! and she was not a student any more and she did not have any thing to worry about ( except the keys at episode 1 and 2 in season 4 ) and now.. no tests.. no letters to the princess every week... and i think that is why twi HAD OCD before and now do not.


I didn't even need to watch this because after I found out what ocd was I knew Twilight had it


Did you know Sendermane is cannon!? He's in the the bushes, in the background, in one of the scenes of Pinkie Apple Pie. What do you think the chances are of him being able to be spotted more often, or even make a real appearance in the show?


HOLY CRAP! MY DISLEXIA JUST "TURNED OFF" AND I REALIZED YOUR NAME IS "THE BRONY 'NOTION'!"<br>I'VE ALWAYS READ IT AS "THE BRONY 'NATION'!"

HOLY CRAP! MY DISLEXIA JUST "TURNED OFF" AND I REALIZED YOUR NAME IS "THE BRONY 'NOTION'!"
I'VE ALWAYS READ IT AS "THE BRONY 'NATION'!"


I love your videos but I have something you could talk about!
mentioned in the "cutie mark chronicles"
From fluttershys backslash you see rainbow fluttershy and the 2 bully boys in that flashback! well if you notice the  Orange filly has basketballs on his blank (how) the reason I ask is because in call of the cutie rainbow dash say " are you going to listen to apple jack or the filly that was first in her class to get a cutie mark" how could rainbow be the first filly if the boy with the basketball was raceing her when she got her cutie mark!
Just one of my thought hope you understand! 😊


i have OCD whenever a game or something is not in the same group of games for that consle i get stressed angry and i need to fix it


can you please do an episode on pinkie sense where it came from and why it happens?!?!


You should do a video seeing if RD has ADHD.


More proof that Twilight princess is op. So op. LIKE CUMMON HASBRO TWILIGHT BEING OCE AND SUPERORGANIZED AND THEN PRINCESS TWILLY is. So. Super. Perfect. No. Just no.


Yeah, sounds like she does. But, hey, is that gonna change who she is?


well its possible that being a princess could have meant that she has less journeys then before other then the episode twilight's kingdom and the movies so she could have more time to calm down


lol i have the checkers OCD o-o it drives me insane if i don't check something again. INSANEEEEE


DOES PINKY HAVE ADHD?! The world will never know , unless you make this video


Pinkie is probably ADHD.She can't stay in one place for very long.


You should do a video about pinkie pie and how she is so fast , her tail and if she has ADHD  or flash sentry and how they may incorporate him into the show more  often because it seems like mlp is trying to make him a boyfriend for cough cough twilight cough cough how would this work with him in the crystal empire unless twilight gets her own gaurd and cadence sends flash over saying that he is the best gaurd she has and he will make a great addition to your gaurd.

                                                                                This is khamani please consider this. (★_★)


She might be a hoarder because all those books but there is a good reason to keep like 1000 books I guess


Of course twilight's OCD disappeared when she became a princess,
FOR SHE IS A GOD NOW< AND GODS ARE mostly... PERFECT

Of course twilight's OCD disappeared when she became a princess,

Do does pinkie ADHD it would be very interesting to go thrugh the facts📄


Nobody thinks Rarity falls into the washer part of OCD?


I think Rarity has OCD and is a Washer because she simply HATES getting dirty, and she goes to the spa VERY often and I'm guessing being in that pool of water is kinda like washing?
