Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. Understanding OCD is the first step toward managing it effectively. Our resources include articles, guides, and videos that explain the nature of OCD, its symptoms, and the impact it can have on daily life. These resources aim to educate and empower individuals by providing them with the knowledge they need to recognise the signs of OCD and seek appropriate help.
