Support for OCD Related Conditions

[Forum Moderators]

We want to be sure everyone knows that the OCD Action website has a section specifically for people with conditions related to OCD called Related Conditions

OCD Action can provide you with support and information on OCD related conditions. We understand that these conditions are cyclical like OCD can be This means that behaviours used to relieve anxiety become more and more ‘sticky’, causing both anxiety and compulsive responses to become stronger with time.

Visit this page for links to recommended reading about Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (e.g. skin picking and hair pulling) and Hoarding Disorders.

If you have any questions about OCD related conditions, the OCD Action Helpline team will be more than happy to help you. You can call them on 0300 636 5478.

We hope this helps,
