The holidays and the start of a new year can be difficult for those with OCD and related disorders. Change and added holiday stress, along with the additional distress from COVID-19, can make these times stressful for those with a mental disorder.
The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) has national, lead, and general advocates–and this year they came together to film a special holiday message of hope for those currently dealing with OCD. Please watch and share with anyone who needs to hear this hopeful message!
