Although we have only just said goodbye to 2011, the impact of OCD does not take a break, and so our 2012 plans are already underway.

In collaboration with the US based OCD Foundation, the date is confirmed for 8th - 14th October 2012, and we already have received confirmation from two anxiety charities here in the UK and Ireland, that they will be on board to support OCD Awareness Week 2012! A week that is completely dedicated to raising awareness of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

It's with great pleasure we confirm the latest issue of our members magazine, Compulsive Reading was sent out to OCD-UK members just in time for Christmas.

And what's more, in addition to the great content, OCD-UK members will also have the opportunity to win prizes, including a a SAD box worth £189.

We had so much content, we are already working on another magazine for January, and in that magazine there will be the chance to win a subscription to the BBC Good Food magazine.

The press release for the book describes this as a practical guide written by three leading Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) experts which enables you to make sense of your symptoms, and gives a clear plan to help you conquer OCD. The book does not fail to offer just that!

If you believe that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is primarily a psychological illness and that Cognitive Behavioural Treatment (CBT) holds the key to restoring good health then this is the book for you.

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a serious anxiety-related condition where a person experiences frequent intrusive and unwelcome obsessional thoughts, often followed by repetitive compulsions, impulses or urges.

It can be so debilitating and disabling that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has actually ranked OCD in the top ten of the most disabling illnesses of any kind, in terms of lost earnings and diminished quality of life.

We hope that our video will help raise awareness and to offer an insight and educate about the various aspects of the illness to offer a better understanding of the illness, but also perhaps most importantly that we hope that our video will offer hope and inspiration to the estimated 741,504 children and adults living with OCD here in the UK.
