Our New Website

Sysop — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:03:50 +0000

Welcome to the new OCD Action website. This new website has been designed with one thing in mind – you. We want to be able to not only provide high quality support and information for people affected by OCD but also help to foster the OCD community by providing ways for people to share their thoughts, their ideas and their lives in a safe and supported environment.

Over the coming months we will be switching on some additional functions, making this site even more interactive and helping individuals build up new networks and friendships (think Facebook for OCD).

If you would like to share your thoughts about our new site, or would like to make any suggestions, please use the comment form below.

Thank you

Hoarding Study

Sysop — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:48:32 +0000

Participants needed for a study on Hoarding

Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute (BCNI), University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

Our aim is to gain more insight into the nature of hoarding. Therefore, we are looking for participants who are suffering from hoarding behaviour for a research project which is currently being conducted at the University of Cambridge. Also, we are searching for participants who do not have any hoarding symptoms at all, but do have a first degree relative who is suffering from hoarding.

In detail, we are looking for four types of volunteers:

· those who have hoarding symptoms as well as OCD
· those who have hoarding symptoms and do not have OCD
· those who do not have any hoarding or OCD symptoms, but have a first-degree relative (parents, children, siblings) that is suffering from hoarding symptoms but not OCD
· those who do not have any hoarding or OCD symptoms, but have a first-degree relative (parents, children, siblings) that is suffering from hoarding symptoms and OCD

The study consists of some nice computer tasks and some questionnaires regarding your mood and health. The testing will take approximately 2.5 hours and you will receive 30 pounds as a thank for your participation and we will also pay for travel expenses. The testing can either be done in Cambridge, London or Welwyn Garden City.

This research has been approved by Essex 1 Research Ethics Committee.

If you are interested to take part and if you like to get some more detailed information about the study, please don’t hesitate to contact:
