View Course Details
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can impact children, teens, and adults. Over two percent of people experience OCD at some point in their lives. OCD and other OCD-spectrum disorders (such as hoarding, trichotillomania, and body dysmorphic disorder) can cause disability and suffering. Yet, OCD is frequently misunderstood and misrepresented in the media and popular culture, creating misunderstanding and barriers to treatment. Better understanding the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, risk factors, subtypes, treatments, and impacts of OCD can provide valuable insight and help to reduce stigma. Enrich your understanding of OCD in this intensive active learning weekend course.
