Understanding OCD: Signs, Symptoms, and When to Seek Support
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood as a personality quirk or an intense preference for cleanliness and order. In reality, OCD is a serious, potentially debilitating mental health disorder that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. As OCD Awareness Month brings these discussions to the forefront, we aim to increase awareness, understand the signs and symptoms, including what's "normal" and what's OCD, and highlight the importance of seeking evidence-based treatment.
