Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a debilitating mental health condition for many people. The good news is that in most cases with proper treatment, OCD is very treatable! 

Since many studies show that individuals suffer needlessly for many years due to lack of information/education and a shortage of mental health providers adequately trained to diagnose and treat OCD, the International OCD Foundation has established OCD Awareness Week as a way to encourage residents and consumers to educate themselves about OCD and its treatment.
