OCD Awareness Week (#OCDweek) is a worldwide event that serves to dispel myths about obsessive compulsive disorder, break the stigma around mental illness, and provide education about the disorder and how to support those affected. For the over 200 million people worldwide living with OCD, public misconception can prevent them from accessing the timely, effective treatment they need to move from suffering to thriving.
OCD is a debilitating mental disorder that affects 1 in 40 adults in their lifetime and 1 in 100 children
OCD is a very real disorder that affects people of all ages and walks of life.
There is no such thing as "a little OCD"
OCD is a debilitating mental disorder that is often overlooked and belittled as a personality quirk or choice. In reality, OCD is a very real disorder.
