October is OCD Awareness Month 💙
OCD is one of the most misunderstood mental health disorders. While many people associate OCD with being neat, organized, or particular, the reality can look very different.
OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, images, urges, and doubts. Compulsions can be visible, but they can also happen entirely in someone’s mind, like mentally reviewing, checking feelings, trying to figure something out, or seeking certainty.
Throughout October, we’ll be sharing more about what OCD can actually look like, challenging common misconceptions, and sharing information about evidence-based treatment for OCD.
OCD Awareness Week is October 11–17, and we hope you’ll join us for OCD New Jersey’s upcoming events on October 12 in Fairfield and East Brunswick!
