Do you have OCD? If you do, is it affecting your relationships with your family and friends? ADAA member Amy Mariaskin, PhD, wrote this blog all about creating thriving friendships for people with OCD.
"Friends are the people we keep in our lives by choice and not because of familial bonds, work contracts, or other circumstances. They truly are the family we choose," Mariaskin says. "While much has been written about the impact of OCD on romantic relationships, its effects on friendships are less widely discussed. However, for those with the disorder, finding and nurturing friendships while in the thick of symptoms can be just as difficult."
