Hello:

Forum Moderators here:

Supporting a person with OCD can be very difficult but OCD Action can help. OCD places a formidable burden and stress on family members, who often become involved in the rituals or avoidance behaviour of the person with OCD to pacify that behaviour.

Some families or relatives have a high tolerance for inappropriate behaviour and can cope well, but for others it can be a very difficult and stressful experience which can vary enormously depending on the circumstances of each individual family and the extent of the demands made on them.

We have some resources for carers and loved ones on our Resources page – just click on “I am a carer or loved one and want some resources”

Please also see an overview for carers of people with OCD on this page: https://ocdaction.org.uk/i-need-support/carers/

We hope this helps,
