Have you checked out our latest white paper?
Up to 2 million children and adolescents in the U.S. may be living with OCD, yet new findings from the IOCDF show that most are going unrecognized—and very few are receiving the treatment proven to help.
In "Losing Childhood to America’s OCD Care Crisis: The State of Pediatric OCD Care in the United States", the IOCDF analyzed 10 years of electronic health record data from more than 2.3 million children and adolescents across the United States.

Recovery from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is possible. 💙
For years, Eva E. Fisher struggled with how she saw herself, unaware that what she was experiencing had a name. After learning about BDD, an OCD-related disorder, she was able to seek treatment and begin her journey toward recovery.
Eva's story is a powerful reminder that while recovery isn't always linear, finding the right treatment and support can make a meaningful difference.

In our latest blog, researchers discuss the importance of diverse participation, the goals of the BELONG Study, properly addressing concerns surrounding genetic research and practices, and what this research could mean for the future of OCD care.
