➡𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 (𝗢𝗖𝗗) is more than a preference for cleanliness, neatness, or organisation. It is a mental health condition that can cause persistent, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform to ease distress.

Avoid using OCD as a casual label for perfectionism or a love of organisation. Instead, create safe spaces where people can speak openly about their experiences without shame or stigma.
