You choose how you receive Compulsive Reading
OCD-UK were one of the first mental health charities to embrace digital technology and have always offered members the choice of how they receive the magazine, either traditional hard copy through the post, or for those who prefer we can send it digitally, this takes the form of an email with a link to the magazine to read it via a PDF or using our eflip software (compatible on Apple and Android devices).
Compulsive Reading since 2004
We've been serving the OCD community since 2004, and in that time we have innovated, learned and developed and our members magazine reflects that.
Traditionally we have sent four magazines of 20 pages (full colour) every calendar year, which was 80 pages a year.
However following feedback that our members enjoy the bigger magazines and enjoy the read, in 2018 and 2019 we’re experimenting by sending the magazine three times a year, 32 pages, that's 96 pages a year.

and there was much, much more, 52 pages of great content for OCD-UK members.
