“As a person with OCD, it is hard to believe in 2024 OCD is still so misunderstood. Participating in the Akron Canton 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Walk in 2023 brought awareness to many by having it in a very public place, The Akron Zoo.  Walkers and their families walked with no shame.  It was a great feeling being with others who know what one goes through many days.”

Sue Lyons

Person with OCD

“I began to seek out the IOCDF and search for resources during a particularly difficult bout of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I struggle with many kinds of intrusive thoughts, and especially those relating to sexual violence bring me a lot of shame. During this time, I was able to find an online support group that provided me with company and solidarity. I am immensely grateful for that. I was also able to participate in research studies to advance OCD care in the future, which motivated me to continue on.”
