OCDUKYA Tom
Dear The Media,
OCD is not a personality quirk. It is not just perfectionism or germaphobia. No, you can’t joke about it or treat it as the lesser of mental illnesses, and no, we don’t “need to relax”. No, my mental illness does not define me, and I do not lack willpower.
Unapologetically,
A sufferer of OCD

Children and young people can also suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
This section will be updated with information, advice and features for children and young people (up to age 18).
OCD impacts on the lives of the whole family, especially those that love and care for people with OCD.
