PT>>I have a patient I'd like a bit of help with: (elderly LtCol with

No signs of dementia, but he is incredibly demanding and meticulous. He
denies the routine O-C d/o questions of songs running through his head,
counting things, stereotypical behaviors, superstitions, etc.
He does give me a 1-3 page (typed, single-spaced w/o many errors) report
on every burp and odd thought that crosses his head in between our visits.
So my psych-buddy, any thought as to an applicable "functional" disorder
to label this gentleman with?
