Support Groups

Support Groups offer people, with similar medical conditions, to band together as friends compare treatment experiences and coordinate common therapies.

The OCF has compiled a comprehensive listing of OCD-related Support Groups throughout the world. These Support Groups are diverse in their philosophies and approach methodologies. Because of this, the OCF has categorized the list to help you find the Group that's just right for your particular situation. [more information]
