What mental illness is this? My boss exhibits these syptoms..?

Question

Always in a hurry, inventories/writes down everything ( even useless info), makes his own notepads out of scrap, wont run the A/C, wont let a car idle in the winter to keep the heat, no one can do anything right but him, doesnt care what others think of him ( even the other supervisors laugh at him), never goes home ....is at work all the time..

Answer 1

nut a mental illness really, but definitely frugal and a bit odd

Answer 2

Well I disagree with the Psychologist, I think that these are the behaviors of a person with OCD.  Obsessive Compulsive disorder is characterized by a compulsion toward a specific behavior (note taking) and obsessing about work would be the obsessive... However, i am not a MD.

These types of diagnosis should only come from a medically trained Psychologist or MD Psychiatrist.

Answer 3

Nothing you describe is indicative of "mental illness".  It just sounds like he's frugal and works too much. (psychologist)

Answer 4

compulsive economizer - not a mental illness.

He also shops at thrifts, watches for sales, drives at or below speed limit, not very good at prep and foreplay, does not entertain, goes on day trips [not major vacation trips].

Answer 5

Possibly none at all. Not necessary to diagnose him, I think.

Answer 6

He sounds eccentric to me (some one that deviates markedly from an established norm, especially a person of odd or unconventional behavior), that could be considered a mental illness, albeit not a real serious one.  He could have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), which is a mental illness.  

Answer 7

thats not a mental illness. Just how some people are personality wise.

Answer 8

Conscientiousness.
