OCD ACTION

OCD Action is the national charity focusing on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We provide support and information to anybody affected by OCD, work to raise awareness of the disorder amongst the public and front-line healthcare workers, and strive to secure a better deal for people with OCD.

We are a dedicated charity with a clear vision, solid objectives and a real understanding of OCD and the impact that it has. Formed by a group of volunteers and leading professionals in 1994, the Charity has the volunteers, trustees and staff to turn its vision into reality.

OCD Action is recognised as a strong voice for people with OCD, a vital source of help and the Charity that makes a real and lasting difference to anyone affected by OCD.

We all know how isolating OCD can be, it can make you feel trapped and cut off from the rest of the world. Finding the right support and building up a support network can make a massive difference. It can give you the tools and the strength to fight back and make you feel that you are not facing OCD on your own.

We are also able to offer support for people affected by:

• BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder)
• CSP (Compulsive Skin Picking)
• TTM (Trichotillomania - Compulsive Hair Pulling).

Our helpline is able to offer both phone and email support and we run a National Advocacy Service offering 1:1 intensive support. We also have a range of OCD youth projects aimed at people under 25. Our support group project 'Even Better together' works with independent support groups as well offering a range of Skype/Phone support groups run under the charity.
