This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to acknowledge that a diagnosis isn't just a physical battle—it's a profound mental and emotional one.

If you or a loved one are facing breast cancer, please remember that your mental well-being is just as vital as your physical health. Fear, anxiety, depression, and grief are real, valid feelings.

We're here for you. You don't have to carry the emotional weight alone.

Maybe you thought OCD was wanting to keep your fridge organized. Or maybe you said you were “so OCD” because you preferred things a certain way. Truth is, that’s not OCD. When a person has OCD, they battle ongoing and distressing thoughts they don’t want to have. It can have serious impacts on a person’s ability to enjoy life.

There’s a lot of misperceptions about OCD, but taking a moment to learn or share knowledge can get us closer to helping the nearly 240 million people worldwide affected by the disorder.

Take that moment to share your response to today’s prompt: What’s one thing you used to believe about OCD that you now know isn’t true?
