Juneteenth marks the long-overdue liberation of enslaved Black Americans on June 19, 1865, making it a day for celebrating freedom, resilience, healing, and justice. That journey toward healing also includes mental health equity.

Black Americans experience OCD at the same rate as others in the U.S, yet are substantially less likely to receive treatment due to differences in access.

This is why, at NOCD, we're working for equal access to mental health services not just today, but everyday.

OCD latches onto the things that you care about: the things that matter, the things you wouldn't normally doubt, the things you feel like you can't tolerate uncertainty or doubts about... The OCD thoughts and concerns go against what you actually think, want, and value: that's why they can be so distressing.

What does your OCD sound like?

This Father’s Day, we want to highlight the struggles faced by many dads who experience OCD symptoms on top of the everyday stressors of parenting, which can already feel overwhelming. It's not uncommon for OCD to develop after the arrival of a new child, or for pre-existing OCD to shift, focusing on worries and unwanted, distressing thoughts related to parenting or the child.

It’s important to remember that having OCD doesn’t make you a bad parent, and you’re not alone in dealing with these thoughts and symptoms. Help is available, and it’s possible to reclaim your life from OCD.

OCD can make the simplest of tasks feel completely overwhelming - this is not because you're lazy, it's because OCD is an incredibly difficult disorder to live with. It's not surprising that OCD can affect all aspects of your life, including your job / career.

Here are some ways in which OCD might affect your work: what else would you add?

OCD and ADHD can seem very different—OCD often involves compulsive behaviors and an aversion to risk, while ADHD is typically associated with impulsivity and a greater tendency toward risk-taking. However, in many cases, they can appear similar, even though the underlying causes of these behaviors are entirely different. It's also not uncommon for OCD and ADHD to co-occur; it's possible to have both, not just one or the other.

Having a loved one who struggles with OCD can feel confusing: you might feel like you don't know how to help, feel like you're only making things worse, and the symptoms can feel 'irrational' or difficult to understand.

Here are some ways to support a loved one with OCD. One great way to support them is through compassion & education: learning more about OCD, helping your loved one find an ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapist, and having compassion for their struggles can be integral for this.

Recovery in general is rarely linear, and the same principle applies to OCD recovery. When we're working towards OCD recovery, we're rewiring our thinking and behavioral patterns that have been our 'normal' for a very long time, from months to even several years or decades. This is why recovery sometimes makes things worse before it gets better: it can feel triggering, unfamiliar, and tiring.

What does OCD recovery feel like for you?

OCD isn't just hand-washing and contamination fears: it's intrusive thoughts, doubts, and sensations that can easily become all-consuming and control your thoughts and behavior to a completely overwhelming degree.

It's important to learn how to identify some of the subtler or less talked about signs of OCD: here are a few of them.

Many people with OCD are aware that their fears or compulsions may be 'irrational' - but that doesn't always make dealing with it any easier. Especially during the times when anxiety peaks, compulsions can feel like the safest option, even if you know they aren't helping.

Thankfully, OCD can be treated: ERP therapy (exposure and response prevention) is a scientifically proven treatment approach for OCD that can help you break the loop.

OCD-related mental health concerns don’t stop at worries about OCD symptoms. It's also common for people with OCD to fear that they might be dealing with something other than OCD, or for their fears to latch onto disorders and diagnoses that feel particularly scary to them.

Certain OCD themes can also feel so confusing and irrational to the person struggling with them that they might worry that these concerns are signs they’re “going insane” or “losing their mind.” These experiences are fairly typical for OCD, and talking to a therapist who specializes in treating OCD with ERP (exposure and response prevention) therapy can be incredibly helpful for managing these scary thought loops.

Ever been triggered by something you normally do in your daily routine?

Brushing your teeth. Locking the door. Driving the same route. Sending a text. Things that seem simple to others can feel overwhelming when you’re living with OCD or anxiety. Triggers don’t always make sense to other people, but they’re very real to the person experiencing them. 

Fortunately, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy works to help you face those triggers without giving in to compulsions. Download the NOCD app to learn more.
