About Us: Centennial Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy
Our Journey Began in 2017
Centennial Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy (COCDT) was founded in 2017 with a vision to shed light on and combat the often-misunderstood condition of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We recognized a pressing need for accessible, reliable information about OCD, especially within the centennial generation. This website is the culmination of our efforts to fill an information gap that has left many struggling with this mental health challenge uninformed and unsupported.
Milestones and Achievements
Over the years, COCDT has grown from a small online resource to a prominent digital hub for OCD awareness and support. We’ve achieved several milestones:
- 2018: Published an in-depth series on OCD symptoms, offering personal narratives to illustrate various manifestations of the disorder.
- 2019: Launched our podcast, “The OCD Conversation,” featuring interviews with experts and individuals living with OCD.
- 2020: Expanded our reach globally by translating key content into multiple languages, making our resources more inclusive.
- 2021: Introduced an online support group facilitated by trained professionals, providing a safe space for peer-to-peer connection and understanding.
- 2022: Collaborated with leading mental health organizations to create comprehensive guides on managing OCD in different life stages.
Our Purpose and Mission
Our primary purpose is to empower individuals affected by OCD and their loved ones through education, support, and accessible resources. We strive to:
- Provide accurate, unbiased information about OCD, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
- Foster a sense of community among those living with OCD, offering platforms for sharing experiences and strategies.
- Connect people with reliable mental health professionals and support services tailored to their needs.
- Promote early intervention and prevention by raising awareness about OCD in schools, workplaces, and communities.
Filling the Information Gap
The internet is abundant with information, but when it comes to OCD, much of what’s available contains misconceptions or outdated advice. COCDT was born out of a desire to create a trusted source that bridges this gap. We ensure our content is:
- Reliable: Backed by research and input from leading psychologists and psychiatrists specializing in OCD.
- Current: Regularly updated with the latest evidence-based practices and treatment approaches.
- Impartial: Free from commercial bias, providing unbiased recommendations for resources and professionals.
