Strategies to fight against OCD

[ice skatingParticipant]

Hello, I’m a new member and need help with my mum’s OCD, she’s suffered from OCD for a long time. I remember her first symptoms during my childhood. Her main topic is related to ROCD. She meet her therapist regularly but I look forward to read your advice. Which strategies do you prefer? Maybe you can recommend some books or other helpful stuff? Tank you in advance.

You can also find out about support group for people with OCD – some also include family members too – on our website. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support 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/
