What is OCD Week?
OCD Week is a week of inspiring, engaging and informing activity bringing together people with OCD, friends, family, carers and healthcare professionals.
During the week, we will be holding two conferences ( London and Manchester ) , online seminars and campaigning activity. As well as this, we hope to use this time to generate media interest and public awareness about OCD.
What are the aims of OCD Week?
- We want to make as much noise as possible, raising the profile of OCD so that more people feel able to come forward and find help.
- We want to inspire and energise the OCD community helping people towards recovery.
- We want to provide up to date knowledge and information to people affected by OCD.
- We want to showcase support groups and encourage more people to join a local group, set up a group or participate on-line.
- We want to make sure that the government understands the needs of people with OCD.
Why have an OCD week?
Put simply, to get more people involved and gain more attention.
By using online technology, having a wide variety of activity across a week and holding two smaller conferences in different locations, we can give many more people the opportunity to take part.
By running OCD week we have a better platform to attract media interest and raise awareness of OCD so that more people can come forward and find help.

I’m interested in hoarding-related support as I’m the girlfriend of a ‘messie’ male hoarder. It feels agonising watching the years-long ’slow motion crash’ of someone I love.

I live in India & I have been suffering from OCD since the past 12 years. In spite of consulting leading psychiatrists & taking medication these past 12 years, I still have the symptoms which have become even stronger recently.
