1-2% of the UK population are fighting a battle that’s largely unseen. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than a daily struggle; it’s an overlooked crisis within our healthcare system, costing billions and affecting hundreds of thousands. Yet, people living with OCD remain uncounted and unsupported because our healthcare system isn’t keeping track. OCD Action’s latest research reveals a big problem—the NHS isn’t collecting enough data to fully understand the number of people unwell with OCD or how effective the treatments are. As a result, people living with OCD aren’t getting the support they need. We’re demanding visibility, recognition, and timely treatment for everybody living with OCD. Ready to make a difference?

The absence of a Mental Health Bill in the King's Speech is profoundly concerning to us at OCD Action. The promised reform of the outdated Mental Health Act 1983 is not just overdue—it's essential. It's vital that the Government places mental health at the heart of its agenda to ensure that everyone affected by OCD receives the treatment they need, when they need it.

It was great to attend the OCD Action National Conference 2023. A highly insightful day, both professionally and personally. Conferences like these are really important in highlighting the often misunderstood nature of OCD, as well as bringing professionals, advocates, and sufferers together. I am grateful for the work I have done with OCD Action in recent years.

Had a great time volunteering at the OCD Action National Conference in London yesterday! We ran a stall dedicated to the OCD Action Youth services, informing both parents and children about how to access support from the charity. After countless virtual calls over the last two years, it was so lovely to meet all the other volunteers and staff in person. Thank you OCD Action for hosting such a fantastic event!💙
