OCD (obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) awareness week is observed every year during the second full week of October. This year, between the 13th and 19th of October, community groups, service organizations, and clinics across the US and around the world celebrate throughout the week with events such as educational lecture series, OCD-inspired art exhibits, grassroots fundraisers, and more.
As a person who’s been struggling with OCD for most of their life, I invite you to read and get informed about this disorder, so that you may be better prepared to interact with people who have this illness.
