OCD Awareness Week is an international effort to raise awareness and understanding about obsessive compulsive disorder and related disorders, with the goal of helping more people to get timely access to appropriate and effective treatment. Launched in 2009 by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), of which OCD Massachusetts is an official affiliate of, OCD Awareness Week is now celebrated by a number of organizations across the US and around the world, with events such as OCD screening days, lectures, conferences, fundraisers, online Q&As, and more.
OCD Awareness Week takes place during the second full week of October each year, and this year it’s October 14-20, 2016.
This year, OCD Massachusetts is proud to be collaborating with McLean Hospital, Stephanie Maddox, PhD, and Sean Shinnock to bring The OCD Brain.
