Description:
Welcome to the home of OCD NZ. We aim to provide useful resources and information about OCD, treatment, and who to turn to in New Zealand for help. OCD is a condition frequently misunderstood by the general public: it is often joked about or trivialised, when the reality of living with OCD can be devastating, debilitating and challenging. The fact that it is known as the ‘secret’ disease or the ‘doubting’ disease also means people can be reluctant to share their struggles. Please browse our site to find out more about local resources and support, or contact us with your specific enquiry, as we compile a more comprehensive collection of resources.
There is also a weekly support group geared towards kids, teens and families which takes place at 7pm on Eastern US time on Facebook live, run by expert panelists.
