Right?  None of this sounds like OCD.  I can’t figure it out.  [/quote]

It sounds like OCD to me. What makes you think otherwise?[/quote]

Well, I guess the compulsion is hoarding, but what’s the obsession?  
And why are they fighting all of the time?  
I don’t have a great idea of what’s going on, but I don’t immediately think “OCD”[/quote]

He said she has a diagnosis.[/quote]

What would a trained psychiatrist know about OCD compared to the geniuses of DCUM?

That being said, just because she has a diagnosis doesn’t mean she has a *problem* requiring treatment.  From OP’s description it doesn’t sound like this negatively impacts her daily life (other than the fighting which one could argue is just as much a result of OP’s constant nagging and criticism).

She gets fixated on certain drinks for awhile.  Ok.  Who cares?

She has hoarding tendencies when it comes to her old papers and books, but she manages to keep her excess neat and clean?  Again, who cares?

None of this sounds particularly off the rails.  Awareness of the diagnosis is important in case she gets worse and it does start impacting her in the future, but demanding therapy and drugs because her brain isn’t perfect is pretty outrageous IMO.[/quote]

Throwing and damaging things is the biggest problem OPs W exhibits.[/quote]
