OCD is more than being neat or organized—it’s a serious mental health condition.

Myths like ‘we’re all a little OCD’ minimize real struggles. The truth? OCD involves intrusive thoughts and compulsions, but effective treatments like CBT and medication exist.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact St. Francis Way Clinic at 217-250-2380 or visit 805 St. Francis Way, Litchfield.

🧠✨ OCD Awareness Week | October 12–18 ✨🧠
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t just about being “neat” or “organized.” It’s a complex mental health condition that can show up in many different ways—like checking, repeating, washing, counting, or mental reviewing. And here’s the truth: individuals with OCD often don’t want to perform these behaviors—they feel driven to, despite the distress it causes.

Let’s break the stigma and deepen our understanding.
💚 Education leads to empathy.
💚 Awareness leads to access.
💚 Compassion leads to change.

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is close to home. Contact the Macoupin County Public Health Department or the St. Francis Way Clinic in Litchfield at

Let’s make mental health visible. Let’s make support accessible.

🌍 OCD does not discriminate — it can affect people of any race, age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, or background.

🧠 “OCD is not an adjective.” It’s a serious, often misunderstood mental health disorder that affects up to 240 million people worldwide. Macoupin County Public Health and St. Francis Way Clinic are committed to raising awareness and promoting respectful language around mental health. Using “OCD” to describe being tidy or particular may seem harmless—but it minimizes the real struggles of those living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

💬 Let’s talk facts:
~ OCD involves intrusive thoughts and compulsions that can disrupt daily life.
~ It’s not a personality quirk—it’s a diagnosable condition that deserves compassion and proper treatment.
~ Misusing the term contributes to stigma and misinformation.

🌱 What can you do?
~ Choose words that reflect understanding, not stereotypes.
~ Share this message to help others learn.
