OCD Action

OCD Action is the largest national charity focusing on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related conditions such as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

Our vision is of a society where OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is better understood and diagnosed quickly, where appropriate treatment options are open and accessible, where support and information are readily available and where nobody feels ashamed to ask for help.

We provide support and information to anybody affected by OCD, work to raise awareness of the disorder amongst the public and frontline healthcare workers and strive to secure a better deal for people with OCD.

Helpline available Mon-Fri 10.00 to 16.00

Join in the community online today.

OCD Action's website is the home of a vibrant and supportive on-line community

Creating an on-line account is free and will only take a few seconds.

Once you have an account you can log-in at any time and join in forums, share your experiences, have your say and interact with other people affected by OCD.

Advocacy

OCD Action's advocacy service is unique. Our Advocacy Manager and team of volunteers have helped people to access treatment, secure housing, stay in employment and turn their lives around.

Advocacy is about exploring options, securing rights, providing representation and enabling people to take the opportunity to regain power and control over their lives. We will not tell you what to do but we can provide representation and support and give you information on your rights and options.

How an OCD Action advocate can help you?

OCD Action's advocacy programme, funded by Comic Relief, is benefiting people throughout the country by making resources available online and in print, providing telephone advocacy support throughout the UK and by working with people face-to-face. If you have an issue that you would like help with then please contact our Advocacy Manager, Collette Byrne who can be accessed via our helpline number or via e-mail
