What is the difference of OCD and OCPD?

The difference between obsessive compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is
that OCD has the symptoms of obsessiveness and compulsive urges, and they experience recurrent,
unwelcome feelings, ideas, or impulses that make them feel compelled to do something again and over
again. An example of this is washing hands, germaphobia, checking on items, and cleaning. They have
trouble disconnecting from intrusive thoughts or ceasing compulsive tendencies, even when they are
aware that their preoccupations are unrealistic. While OCPD is where the person thinks about perfection
and flawlessness, they also have a strong desire for order, completeness, and mental and social control.
They're suffering from a compulsive urge to obey guidelines and restrictions, as well as a moral or
ethical standard from which they might not stray
