In December 2025, the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) published a white paper report titled, “America’s OCD Care Crisis: National Findings on the Failure of Effective OCD Treatment to Reach Patients.”
An analysis of this study – which is the largest study of people with OCD to date – uncovered “striking findings” such as:
Up to 10M Americans likely live with OCD, yet only 1 in 6 receive a diagnosis.
95% of people with OCD in the U.S. do not receive the most effective treatment.
People with OCD are being failed at every step: screening, diagnosis, referral, and treatment.
We have selected five members of the OCD community who will help illustrate the white paper’s findings about the struggles people experience in receiving a proper diagnosis and finding appropriate care. We will show how shame prevents many from receiving the right care, and how certain populations are less likely to find treatment. However, despite their challenges, each of our speakers was able to find the right treatment and thrive!
Following the Keynote presentation, the conference sessions will begin. The conference is two days filled with over 56 different panel presentations led by some of the top OCD experts, researchers, psychiatrists, advocates, and people impacted by OCD. All presentations will be recorded, and you will have 60 days to access the recordings.
We also have evening activities, including community discussion groups, an “Ask the Experts” call-in show, an activity for kids as well as a Young Adult event.
We will wrap up the conference with an “Ask the Experts” Q&A panel and an opportunity drawing for prizes.
We have more information on our registration page. Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the registration page will provide answers to many of your questions.
