OCD Awareness Week 💚
From the 11th-17th of October
OCD is more than being neat, organised, or particular. It is a mental health condition involving both obsessions and compulsions, and it can take on many different forms.
OCD is one of the most common mental health disorders and it can affect anyone, and the thoughts, fears and compulsions can look very different from one person to another. Understanding this is an important part of breaking the stigma and helping people feel less alone. Being able to recognise the different subtypes of OCD is helpful in understanding where the thoughts are coming from.
Whether you live with OCD, know someone who does, or are simply learning more about it, remember:
OCD is treatable. Support is available. Recovery is possible. 💚
This OCD Awareness Week, let's continue to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and create more understanding around OCD.
