The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the ongoing worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic. In response, public health experts around the world have asked individuals and organizations to take action to prevent and limit the transmission of this disease in their communities. This may create unique challenges for people in the OCD and related disorders community as we work to balance what’s best for population health and what’s best for our individual mental health.
We've put together this COVID-19 Resource Center that you may find useful. If you have questions that aren't addressed here, please contact us at (617) 973-5801 or info@iocdf.org.
