How is OCD diagnosed — are there tests?

There is no single OCD test that can confirm the condition. In Australia, diagnosis is made by a psychologist or psychiatrist through:
• Clinical interviews exploring symptoms and history
• Questionnaires such as the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS)
• Observation of how symptoms affect daily life
They also rule out other conditions that might explain the symptoms. A formal diagnosis can also support eligibility for NDIS funding if OCD impacts functional capacity.
