Under Diagnosis -> DSM-5, after the existing paragraph:
The eight criteria of OCPD described in the DSM-5 (of which four are required to be present in a patient for a diagnosis) are:


 * 1) Preoccupation with details
 * 2) Perfectionism interfering with task completion
 * 3) Rigidity and stubbornness
 * 4) Reluctance to delegate
 * 5) Excessive conscientiousness and pedantry (excessive concern with minor details and rules)
 * 6) Workaholic behavior
 * 7) Miserliness (excessive desire to save money)
 * 8) Unable to discard worn-out of worthless objects

The list of criteria for the ICD-10 is similar, but does not include the last three criteria in the above list, and additionally includes the symptoms "intrusive thoughts" and "excessive doubt and caution" as criteria for diagnosis.

Gambling Disorder
A majority of those suffering from lifelong gambling disorder have some sort of personality disorder, and the most common personality disorder amongst sufferers is obsessive compulsive personality disorder. OCPD has a strong comorbidity with individuals who have gambling disorder. A study of data collected in the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions looked at pathological gambling and psychiatric conditions as defined by the DSM-IV. Of the surveyed population consistent with gambling disorder, 60.8% also had a personality disorder, with OCPD appearing most frequently at 30% .About 300,000 U.S citizens have both a gambling disorder and obsessive compulsive personality disorder; and yet, there is little research on the comorbidity of the two disorders. Those with gambling disorders and OCPD do, indeed, exhibit different behavioral patterns than those with gambling disorders alone. More research on the relationship between the disorders is thought to help uncover causes and develop treatments for patients.

Mental Fatigue
Recently, in 2020, the connection between mental fatigue and OCPD was published for the first time, even though mental fatigue has been previously associated with identified characteristics of OCPD such as workaholic behavior and perfectionism.

Under Epidemiology:
A study of data collected in the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions looked specifically for seven personality disorders as defined by the DSM-IV. The study concluded the most prevalent personality disorder of the survey's population to be OCPD, at 7.88%. This study also concluded there were no gender differences in prevalence and that OCPD was not a predicter of disability.
