OCD Action

OCD Action is the leading national charity in the United Kingdom dedicated to supporting individuals affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions, such as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and skin picking. The organization provides a comprehensive suite of services including a specialist helpline, professional advocacy programs, and a national network of peer-led support groups. OCD Action focuses on ensuring patients can access evidence-based treatments, specifically Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Through its campaigning and awareness-raising efforts, the charity works to reduce the stigma associated with mental health and influence national health policy to improve clinical outcomes for the OCD community.
