For many individuals, having obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be isolating and lonely. Although in-person support groups are helpful, many individuals struggle to leave their house, or have difficulty showing up to places on time. Also, there may not be a support group located near their home.
Wendy Mueller, an individual with OCD, has a solution for that. She has moderated an active OCD online support group for nearly three decades. Although the group recently changed servers when Yahoo decided to stop running online support groups last fall, her online support group is stronger than ever with a high-number of members offering support to one another.
The group moderator, Wendy Mueller, is well-recovered from severe OCD and has been leading online OCD support groups for over 28 years. The group is also moderated by Dr. James Claiborn, a psychologist who has specialized in using cognitive behavioral therapy to treat patients with OCD and related disorders for over 30 years. Both Wendy and Dr. Claiborn are recipients of the Patricia Perkins Service Award from the International OCD Foundation.
This group offers support and guidance relating to OCD and its treatment for people with OCD, as well as their family members and friends. This group focuses on helping people with OCD improve their lives through the use of the evidence-based treatments of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including exposure and response prevention (ERP), and the proven OCD medications.
