It’s been almost twenty years since I first met Roz at a conference, and I still recall her words that day with an offer to help the charity, which at that time was still in its infancy. Those words have rung true; for 20 years Roz has been an active supporter of OCD-UK, generously sharing her time.

OCD can cause immense suffering for those affected. Understandably, those desperate to alleviate symptoms turn to private therapists for treatment, but we’ve been hearing increasing heart-breaking accounts from people who’ve received poor quality experiences. www.ocduk.org/unqualified-...

It’s Just a Thought?! The question mark tells the story of OCD. People who don’t have OCD can have a negative thought and usually put it away without question. For those of us with OCD, it may become an obsession leading to lots of doubts, uncertainty and questioning. www.ocduk.org/shop/pin-bad...
