Title:
OCD
Mark explains what living with Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like and how it manifests itself for him.
Mark
is 24 and is from the Eden Valley. He suffers from Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder (OCD) which is the second most common mental issue after depression.
He is currently in his final year at the Northern Film School in Leeds.
Mark
is involved with a charity called OCD
UK which is trying to advance the awarness of OCD in the UK as
well as providing support for sufferers.
A
screening test designed as a guide to find out whether you show
symptoms similar to those of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
My 12yr old son was diagnosed with OCD in September of last year, it has affected his and our lives so much, he is currently in a specialist unit for mental health issues at Booth Hall Children's Hospital. I can immagine what you are going through after seeing what my son has been through. I have not found any support groups for younger people, the ones i have spoken to will only support 16 up's. Good luck and i hope you achieve all you want and more.
Kindest Regards
Janice Hayhurst
