SUMMARY:OCD as Neurodivergence? A Clinical Shift
DESCRIPTION:Psicología al Sur\, one of the largest psychology festivals in Latin America\, will take place this October in Buenos Aires\, bringing together thousands of students\, clinicians\, researchers\, and community members to discuss the intersections of mental health\, culture\, and social change. \nAs part of the program\, psychologist\, artist\, author\, and mental health advocate Romina Vitale will present the clinical talk:\n“OCD as Neurodivergence? A Clinical Shift.” \nThe presentation will be held in the framework of International OCD Awareness Week\, highlighting both the scientific and social relevance of rethinking obsessive-compulsive disorder through a neuroaffirmative and critical lens. Vitale’s talk will address the limitations of traditional models\, propose innovative clinical perspectives\, and emphasize the importance of validating the lived experience of people with OCD. \nThis participation underscores the growing international recognition of the neuroaffirmative approach and its impact on contemporary mental health debates.

SUMMARY:Throw Your Heart into the Sea | Screening at Moviemento Linz\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Eric Schirl and Christian Kogler examine OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) as a coping strategy and explore the human dilemma of uncertainty. In four chapters and in talks with people in various countries\, the documentary film shines a light on the human psyche and different means of achieving at least apparent security. We get insights into personal and collective strategies for risk aversion\, spiritual interpretations and possible solutions. In calm\, reflective images\, the film invites a deep contemplation of the interplay among the internal and external influences in our lives\, and heightens our awareness of them. (Ines Ingerle\, Crossing Europe Film Festival) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Unstuck: An OCD Kids Movie
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Unstuck: An OCD Kids Movie co-sponsored by OCD Rhode Island and the Pediatric Anxiety Research Center (PARC) at Bradley Hospital! \n*Panel discussion to follow \nRegistration is required to attend this event. Please scan the QR code or click the link below to register. \nhttps://redcap.lifespan.org/redcap/surveys/?s=3WHCDNWDFNWH9P7N \nAbout UNSTUCK: an OCD kids movie \nKids\, teens and adults with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are trapped in a vicious cycle of worries\, intrusive thoughts and rituals. While loved ones are desperate to help them\, defeating OCD takes time and specialized therapy. To uncover what OCD is\, and what it isn’t\, filmmakers Kelly Anderson and Chris Baier focus on an unlikely group of experts: kids! \nUNSTUCK is an award-winning short film that explains OCD through the eyes of young people. It avoids sensationalizing compulsions and obsessions\, and instead reveals the complexity of a disorder that affects the brain and behavior. As the group of resilient kids and teens roadmap their process of recovery\, the film will inspire you to believe it is possible to fight your worst fears and defeat OCD.
