Waiting years for treatment that changed her life
It took over 20 years — and countless missed opportunities — before Laura’s OCD was properly recognised and she was given the treatment that finally changed her life.
Before that, she spoke to GPs, therapists, and university counsellors, but not one of them recognised her OCD.
You can view this video on OCD Action’s Instagram account, where Laura (@ocddoodles) shares the impact of being dismissed for so long, and how everything changed when she finally got support from professionals who understood OCD.
If you’re struggling to be heard or to access the right support, OCD Action is here for you.
