What do you know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
In sessions people with OCD confront their fears and are not allowed to perform their OCD rituals. This takes a lot of courage!

#OCD affects 2-3% of the population but gets only 0.6% of the total research budget as per @MQmentalhealth audit. It is the least funded area in #mentalhealthresearch!
Important that we actively push OCD research, please do help by completing this brief survey from @OrchardOCD
