I actually just looked it up for you by googling “Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale”. Since you don’t have access to any kind of treatment I personally would start there. I remember when I did it and realized that there is a name for my irrational fears it did put me at ease a little and then I knew where to go from there.. even if it is just doing your own research (and believe me i feel like I have read every single website out there) and just making yourself as knowledgeable about it as possible will help!

I’ve taken those quizzes before too and they told me I have OCD. And I have been tested by 3 or 4 psychiatrists who diagnosed me with OCD. There is one that I believe one of the many different therapists I’ve been to used and I believe it’s online too. I think it was from Yale-Brown college or something (this was years ago).

your very welcome I’ve been there and I know how debilitating it is but the more you know the easier it is to understand and know that it is very hard to understand. When people tell me to just get over it or don’t do the compulsions I just tell them no matter how much I describe ocd to you you really will fully understand. Which is what is nice about this app is that we all can relate and understand even if we don’t have the same fears

Only an OCD therapist can diagnose you. But when I was researching OCD, I did a couple of those quizzes and they said I do have OCD. I did get an official OCD diagnosis, but those quizzes can be helpful, but they can also cause you additional stress and anxiety. You shouldn't diagnose yourself just based on a quiz.
