OCD Education Needs for Healthcare Professionals

The Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre offers specific expertise in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related "spectrum" disorders, including hoarding, hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking and body dysmorphic disorders for anyone over the age of 18.

In addition to treating this population, we provide educational opportunities to both healthcare professionals and the public to further enhance awareness of evidence-based treatment in the hopes of improving access to high quality care across the country.
