Why was OCD-Today established?
OCD-TODAY began from the frustrations and isolation experienced by one person, a young man keeping his OCD disorder a secret for 19 years. He noticed here in the United Kingdom there were only a few organisations solely dedicated to OCD. He also felt OCD was still not nationally recognised and that a new, fresh relaunch was needed. On 21st June 2007 OCD-Today became an officially registered non-profit organisation helping thousands.
