Good morning! My partner has been diagnosed with OCD and I am struggling with learning how to support but not enable him. What resources are available? Also, how can I begin to get a sense of what is normal and symptoms I should be concerned about? Thanks for your help!!!!

Hello there,
The IOCDF has a great section on our website for family members: iocdf.org/families/
This contains a lot of helpful articles and videos which will guide you in supporting your loved one and making sure you're not accommodating.

Thank you! I will check it out!
There’s a lot of books written for families- one particularly good one I like is by Jon Hershfield- “When a Family Member Has OCD”. Very informative.
Good evening!
This is a common issue for loved ones of those who suffer from OCD.
There are numerous resources, including this very community.
I hope that you have learned a lot from consulting the link that is in Alex’s response to your post!
