If you're someone with OCD, you might have experienced unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions). These are things that you feel compelled to do.

OCD Awareness Week is from 12th to 18th October and we've picked today to shine a spotlight on how crucial it is to understand and support the people living with this condition. It's a time to break down myths, share stories, and foster kindness and empathy. So, whether you're going to a local event or just chatting on the internet, this week is a great time to get together, learn new things and lend a helping hand to those who need it.

Let's all work together to make our community a kinder and more informed one.
