Benchmark- Anxiety and Phobia
Monica Geller is a character from the tv show Friends, she is the sister off Ross Geller and
daughter of Jack and Judy Geller. Monica and her brother are very competitive against each
other because he gets all the attention from their parents, and she wants to get the attention
now. Monica Geller has some behaviors that can show that she has obsessive compulsive
personality disorder (OCPD). The author will explain how stress is related to OCPD, some of
the behaviors that the character has will be listed, a diagnosis will be provided including the
causes and a possible treatment for the character. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
(OCPD) is a metal health condition, a personwith OCPD has an extreme preoccupation that
has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.
Monica has many behaviors throughout the series that shows that she might have OCPD.
According to the DSM-5, a person with OCPD is very consumed by rules, perfectionism,
organization, everything has to be perfect according to them. The first behavior that can show
her having OCPD is that she has 11 different towel categories and when they are not organized
perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom
having it as well, both of them show symptoms of OCPD, Monica wants to have everything
perfect when her parents visit her and when they get there, her mother criticizes. Cognitive
because she is stressing over it, she has a lot of stress even though she might not be thinking
about it but she stresses a lot because she wants everything to look and be perfect.

identify and change their thought and behaviors, the therapist makes the patient understand
more about their disorder. The therapist will help Monica understand and make her aware of
what mental disorder she has because most of the people with OCPD don’t know they have it.

everyoneis perfect, that everyone is human and its okay to not be okay or perfect.Obsessive

has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.

perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The

Monica Geller is a character from the tv show Friends, she is the sister off Ross Geller and
daughter of Jack and Judy Geller. Monica and her brother are very competitive against each
other because he gets all the attention from their parents, and she wants to get the attention
now. Monica Geller has some behaviors that can show that she has obsessive compulsive
personality disorder (OCPD). The author will explain how stress is related to OCPD, some of
the behaviors that the character has will be listed, a diagnosis will be provided including the
causes and a possible treatment for the character. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
(OCPD) is a metal health condition, a personwith OCPD has an extreme preoccupation that
has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.
Monica has many behaviors throughout the series that shows that she might have OCPD.
According to the DSM-5, a person with OCPD is very consumed by rules, perfectionism,
organization, everything has to be perfect according to them. The first behavior that can show
her having OCPD is that she has 11 different towel categories and when they are not organized
perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom
having it as well, both of them show symptoms of OCPD, Monica wants to have everything
perfect when her parents visit her and when they get there, her mother criticizes. Cognitive
because she is stressing over it, she has a lot of stress even though she might not be thinking
about it but she stresses a lot because she wants everything to look and be perfect.

identify and change their thought and behaviors, the therapist makes the patient understand
more about their disorder. The therapist will help Monica understand and make her aware of

rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers

same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common

being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.

perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom

(OCPD) is a metal health condition, a personwith OCPD has an extreme preoccupation that
has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.

organization, everything has to be perfect according to them. The first behavior that can show

perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom
having it as well, both of them show symptoms of OCPD, Monica wants to have everything
perfect when her parents visit her and when they get there, her mother criticizes. Cognitive
because she is stressing over it, she has a lot of stress even though she might not be thinking
about it but she stresses a lot because she wants everything to look and be perfect.

now. Monica Geller has some behaviors that can show that she has obsessive compulsive
personality disorder (OCPD). The author will explain how stress is related to OCPD, some of
the behaviors that the character has will be listed, a diagnosis will be provided including the
causes and a possible treatment for the character. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
(OCPD) is a metal health condition, a personwith OCPD has an extreme preoccupation that
has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.
Monica has many behaviors throughout the series that shows that she might have OCPD.
According to the DSM-5, a person with OCPD is very consumed by rules, perfectionism,
organization, everything has to be perfect according to them. The first behavior that can show
her having OCPD is that she has 11 different towel categories and when they are not organized
perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom
having it as well, both of them show symptoms of OCPD, Monica wants to have everything
perfect when her parents visit her and when they get there, her mother criticizes. Cognitive
because she is stressing over it, she has a lot of stress even though she might not be thinking
about it but she stresses a lot because she wants everything to look and be perfect.

best treatment would be psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is when the patients is being treated to
identify and change their thought and behaviors, the therapist makes the patient understand
more about their disorder. The therapist will help Monica understand and make her aware of
what mental disorder she has because most of the people with OCPD don’t know they have it.

everyoneis perfect, that everyone is human and its okay to not be okay or perfect.Obsessive

their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.

done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The

trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might

Monica Geller is a character from the tv show Friends, she is the sister off Ross Geller and
daughter of Jack and Judy Geller. Monica and her brother are very competitive against each
other because he gets all the attention from their parents, and she wants to get the attention
now. Monica Geller has some behaviors that can show that she has obsessive compulsive
personality disorder (OCPD). The author will explain how stress is related to OCPD, some of
the behaviors that the character has will be listed, a diagnosis will be provided including the
causes and a possible treatment for the character. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder
(OCPD) is a metal health condition, a personwith OCPD has an extreme preoccupation that
has to do with details, they are perfectionist, they like to have everything organized and under
their control (Gulin et al., 2021). OCPD is a stress disorder, stress and OCPD are almost the
same, when a person has OCPD they are always stressing about everything, they stress because
something is not done their way or when something is not perfect. Some of the most common
symptoms are to have excessive doubt and indecisiveness, not being able to compromise, not
being able to throw worthless objects, being perfectionist, becoming overly fixated on an idea,
and having difficulty with criticism (ClevelandClinic, n.d.). OCPD can be caused by genetics
meaning that if they have parents with personalitydisorders, anxiety or depression are more
likely to get OCPD, Monica’s mother shows signs of OCPD as well and her father shows some
symptoms of narcissism. Another thing that can cause OCPD is a childhood trauma, maybe it’s
not a childhood trauma what Monica went through but her parents cared more about Ross than
her, they showed that their favorite one is him and this could be one of the reasons she might
have OCPD.
Monica has many behaviors throughout the series that shows that she might have OCPD.
According to the DSM-5, a person with OCPD is very consumed by rules, perfectionism,
organization, everything has to be perfect according to them. The first behavior that can show
her having OCPD is that she has 11 different towel categories and when they are not organized
perfectly, she gets annoyed. One of her friends offer to clean her apartment but after Rachel is
done doing it, she starts wandering around to see what Rachel has done bad to fix it herself,
she doesn’t like anyone cleaning the apartment but herself, this one matches with one of the
codes which is that the person doesn’t like to collaborate with anyone unless they follow their
rules. In another episode, Monica leaves her shoes in the middle of the living room instead of
putting them where she has all her shoes, this caused her to be unable to sleep. She puts numbers
under every mug, so she knows when one of the mugs is missing. A person with OCPD is
unable to getrid of things that are useless, in one of the episodes, Chandler opens a door that
has been locked in a long time and finds inside a lot of stuff, a mess of objects that are
completely useless, but Monica doesn’t want to get rid of them. There are many more examples
that show how Monica is a perfectionist and wants everything in order in her own way.The
causes of OCPD have been talked about earlier, OCPD can be caused by either childhood
trauma or genetics. According to the psychological model, the cause of her symptoms might
be biological and cognitive. Biological because she might be having OCPD because of hermom
having it as well, both of them show symptoms of OCPD, Monica wants to have everything
perfect when her parents visit her and when they get there, her mother criticizes. Cognitive
because she is stressing over it, she has a lot of stress even though she might not be thinking
about it but she stresses a lot because she wants everything to look and be perfect.

identify and change their thought and behaviors, the therapist makes the patient understand
more about their disorder. The therapist will help Monica understand and make her aware of
what mental disorder she has because most of the people with OCPD don’t know they have it.
