The Swedish OCD Association is a nationwide non-profit association that was founded in 1989 and whose purpose is to support people with personal experience of ocd (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and/or ocd-related conditions and their relatives, as well as to work to ensure that these people receive better support and a better understanding on the part of society.

The association works to increase knowledge about ocd among the general public, care providers, training providers, authorities and organizations and works to ensure that information about effective and scientifically documented forms of treatment and support efforts is disseminated to these groups. We do this, among other things, by publishing the newspaper “News about ocd”, organizing information meetings and lectures, participating in newspapers, radio and TV, building up local departments and associations, mediating contacts between members, and mediating contacts to licensed behavioral therapists and specialists in psychiatry.
