OCD Awareness

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood, but this course aims to change that—one module at a time. From identifying different types of OCD to uncovering how the brain plays its part, you’ll develop a well-rounded grasp of the condition’s origins, manifestations, and management strategies. Each section focuses on factual clarity and structured learning without overcomplicating the conversation.

You’ll also explore assessment and diagnosis methods, delve into therapies like CBT, and examine the role of medication. The final chapters turn toward practical coping strategies and resource navigation for ongoing support. It’s informative without being overwhelming, thoughtful without being clinical. Ideal if you’re curious, compassionate, or working in mental health—or all three.
