Around half a million Australians live with OCD. Many feel their illness is misunderstood.
Researchers in Sweden have investigated how likely a person with OCD is to attempt suicide.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and King’s College in London looked at how stressful life events can affect the severity of OCD symptoms.
Please help people affected by OCD, or other complex mental illnesses, and support the SANE Help Centre.
$20 will help someone through a crisis and connect them to a life saving service.
