October 11-17, 2026 is OCD Awareness Week
OCD Awareness Week (#OCDweek) is a worldwide event that serves to dispel myths about obsessive compulsive disorder, break the stigma around mental illness, and provide education about the disorder and how to support those affected. For the over 200 million people worldwide living with OCD, public misconception can prevent them from accessing the timely, effective treatment they need to move from suffering to thriving (IOCDF.ORG). This OCD Awareness Week, let’s make space for the many ways OCD can show up, challenge misconceptions, and remind those affected that they are not alone.
Whether you share facts, tell your own story, or otherwise support OCD Awareness Week, you are making a powerful difference.
If you or someone you love is struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or anxiety that interferes with daily life, connecting with a professional that understands OCD can be an important first step. Effective, evidence-based treatment is available.
