This week is OCD Awareness Week (#OCDWeek )  Many people with and without OCD wonder whether OCD is treatable  The answer is that there are very effective treatments available for OCD. Children, teens, and adults alike may feel hesitant to begin treatment for their OCD.  I often think that there is no better way to face one’s own challenges than to hear about how someone else faced theirs.  With that, I must share a blog post I read this morning.

This post is by 16-year-old Ellen, a teen who has worked hard, not only to challenge her own OCD, but to raise awareness around the globe.  She is an inspiration.
