Thank you, @msrachelforlittles, for opening up about your experience with OCD. 💙 Sharing the realities of this disorder helps so many kids, families, and adults find answers to the distress they may have felt for too long. The International OCD Foundation is here to provide resources, support, and community for everyone affected by OCD and related disorders. Thank you for helping more people feel seen and understood. 💙 🎙️ From It's Open with Ilana Glaze

We're excited to introduce two IOCDF Special Interest Groups (SIGs)! 💙 The newly rebranded Perinatal OCD SIG brings together clinicians, researchers, and individuals with lived experience to improve identification, treatment, and support during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The new OCD & Anxiety in Athletes SIG connects athletes, mental health professionals, coaches, and advocates working at the intersection of sports performance and mental health. Both groups are open to new members! Learn more and get involved 👉 iocdf.org/sigs

Have you checked out our latest white paper? Up to 2 million children and adolescents in the U.S. may be living with OCD, yet new findings from the IOCDF show that most are going unrecognized—and very few are receiving the treatment proven to help. In "Losing Childhood to America’s OCD Care Crisis: The State of Pediatric OCD Care in the United States", the IOCDF analyzed 10 years of electronic health record data from more than 2.3 million children and adolescents across the United States. The findings reveal significant gaps in how pediatric OCD is recognized, diagnosed, referred, and treated—and opportunities to change that trajectory. Read more 👉 iocdf.org/kidscarecrisis/

Recovery from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is possible. 💙 For years, Eva E. Fisher struggled with how she saw herself, unaware that what she was experiencing had a name. After learning about BDD, an OCD-related disorder, she was able to seek treatment and begin her journey toward recovery. Eva's story is a powerful reminder that while recovery isn't always linear, finding the right treatment and support can make a meaningful difference.

Representation matters in OCD research. 💙 The BELONG Study (Black Equality in OCD NeuroGenomics) is working to address gaps in OCD genetics research by including Black and African American individuals with OCD and their families. In our latest blog, researchers discuss the importance of diverse participation, the goals of the BELONG Study, properly addressing concerns surrounding genetic research and practices, and what this research could mean for the future of OCD care.
