OCD Louisiana is a local non-profit and an affiliate of the International OCD Foundation. The mission of our group is to provide assistance to those affected by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. We are early in the development of the Louisiana affiliate. We aim to provide education, resources, and support to the local community to increase access to effective treatment and promote awareness about OCD and related disorders. We hope to develop a community for those affected by OCD and related disorders and the professionals who treat them. Like our parent organization, OCD Louisiana is a donor-supported nonprofit organization run by volunteers. Our organization is open to anyone impacted by or interested in OCD, Hoarding Disorder, Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder), Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and other related disorders. We welcome individuals who suffer from one of these conditions, their family members and friends, mental health professionals, researchers, educators, religious leaders, and/or other interested community members. The purpose of our meeting is to bring together community members from Southeast Louisiana to generate ideas on local needs and develop initial committees.
