Interesting that the behavior Perry describes is now being called “maladaptive daydreaming”. It’s not in the DSM yet, but it probably should be. It’s highly comorbid with obsessive compulsive disorders, which is also associated with perfectionism.

"Comorbid" implies that it's lethal, doesn't it? Wouldn't "correlated" be better here?

No, it’s a medical term that just means one condition often appears with another condition (e.g. maladaptive daydreaming often occurs with OCD).
