AT A GLANCE
Based on a recognised OCD screening tool
Quick to complete, instant results
This self-screening tool draws on principles from the Y-BOCS (Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale), the standard measure clinicians use to assess OCD severity, covering both obsessions and compulsions rather than one alone.
Most people experience an intrusive thought now and then; what matters is how much time it takes up, and what you feel compelled to do about it. This test looks at both sides of that equation: the thoughts themselves and the behaviours that follow.
Built on principles from the Y-BOCS, the same framework specialists use to assess OCD severity.
Your score flags whether these patterns are worth a closer look, not who you are.
If your results suggest possible OCD, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist/psychiatrist for assessment.
Intrusive thoughts are common; it's the grip they have on your time and choices that this test is really measuring.
Your answers don’t suggest obsessions or compulsions are significantly affecting your day-to-day life.
Certain thoughts or rituals may be taking up more time than you’d like. Worth discussing with a psychologist or your GP.
Your answers suggest a pattern that’s likely shaping your daily routine. We recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
Speak with a registered psychologist or psychiatrist at HelloDoc; these intrusive or obsessive thoughts are more manageable than they feel.
A few honest answers before you begin an OCD screening test.
No. This is a screening tool only. OCD can present differently from person to person and can overlap with other conditions; only a formal assessment by a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
About 2 to 3 minutes for 18 questions. Answer with your first instinct rather than second-guessing yourself; it’s usually the truest response.
A higher score doesn’t confirm OCD, but recurring intrusive thoughts or compulsions are worth taking seriously. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
Taking the first step towards better mental health doesn't have to be complicated. HelloDoc makes it easy to connect through secure online appointments, helping you access personalised support wherever you are in Australia.
