Hi:
Forum Moderators here – just checking in, as it’s been a while since you posted your topic.
One of the biggest barriers people face with accessing treatment for their OCD is lack of recognition of their symptoms. Someone might not be completely open about them to professionals because they are embarrassed, or the assessor themselves might not be aware of the different ways OCD can manifest. Taking part in an assessment with a knowledgeable practitioner and with some preparation can help to open doors to the right support. For more see:
