      My dad has ocd and the intrusive thoughts he has feel to him like ocd, but he’s worried that because he has those thoughts all the time, it means he really doesn’t have ocd. Please someone help?

        Maybe suggest he goes to talk to his doctor. That would be a first step.

        The fact that he has the thoughts all the time would seem to suggest it is ocd.

          Hi

          We want you to know that you can also contact the OCD Action Helpline and Email Service to talk to or email someone who understands OCD.

          Our Helpline volunteers provide confidential and unbiased help, information and support for people with OCD (and their family members too). Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand OCD and how it can impact a family’s life.

          Contact our Helpline by:

          • phone: 0300 636 5478 (this is a UK number).
          • email: support@ocdaction.org.uk

          You can also find out about support groups on our website – these are open to people with OCD and some involve family members too. They offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support and encourage other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:

          If you don’t live in the UK, you can look for groups near you on the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) website. Look in the section “Find Help” and then under “Listing Types”, choose “Support Groups”: https://iocdf.org/

          And please remember that you’re never alone – OCD Action is always here to help and support you.

          Regards,
