Perfectionism is often praised as the key to success, but psychology tells a different story. The relentless pursuit of perfection can quietly become a risk factor for anxiety, depression, OCD, and other mental health challenges. True growth does not come from chasing perfection—it comes from embracing progress, balance, and self-acceptance. Understanding perfectionism as a transdiagnostic risk factor helps us recognize that striving for excellence is healthy, but losing psychological flexibility in the pursuit of perfection can harm both mental and physical well-being.
