at the top of the image it says 'what some people think OCD is' and underneath this are four grey boxes, with text to the side of them which say 'being organised, tidying often, enjoying order, liking things to be clean'. Below this in bold letters it says ' what OCD actually is'. Underneath are 12 colourful boxes in rainbow colours, each with a description of what OCD can feel like. These are "obsession themes, overt compulsions, intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, avoidance, reassurance seeking, feelings of guilt shame and doubt, impaired functioning, unwanted sensations, mental images, feeling stuck, distress and having to face fears.

💬What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

This #OCDAwarenessWeek, we'll be shining a light on the condition.

There are lots of misconceptions around what OCD is – or isn’t. That’s despite almost 1 in 50 people in the UK being affected by it.

This #OCDAwarenessWeek we're bringing back Allan to tell his story.

Allan would constantly count, check and repeat things. He came to us for support with his OCD symptoms after his wife and employer urged him to get help.

A green background has a dark blue design on top which includes lines on the top left and bottom right corners, a talking therapies speech bubble to the bottom left and stars to the top right. In the centre, a quote says I have OCD - untreated and undiagnosed for more than 40 years. This lead to severe anxiety and depression. I cannot speak highly enough of Talking Therapies at RDaSH, they were brilliant and I don't think I would be here now without them. Everyone is brilliant and so empathetic. I had 20 hours of CBT with a therapist who got my depression score from 90% down to about 10%.I now feel confident in handling my OCD and know I'm in control of it. Now, I'm a volunteer for Talking Therapies and want to tell as many people as I can that help is out there. Go to Talking Therapies - they saved my life. They can help you too, they really can!

✨ It was only right that we showcased this incredible story on Feedback Friday for #OCDAwarenessWeek!

at the top of the page is writing in an arch that says mental health mythbusting. below this are two blue speech bubbles and an image of an older adult male wearing glasses. In the first speech bubble it says 'if I say I'm struggling with my mental health they'll think I'm crazy the second says 'struggling with your mental health is very common and does not make you 'crazy'. Our team of therapists are understanding and on-judgemental. We would never think a person is 'crazy'.

Our teams can support you to live well mentally with your health condition. We also have a dedicated long-term conditions team in Doncaster!

at the top of the page is writing in an arch that says mental health mythbusting. below this are two blue speech bubbles and an image of two people talking about treatment. The first speech bubble says 'i'm too old to be getting any support' and the second says 'that’s absolutely not the case! in fact, research suggests that older adults with depression are even more likely to benefit from psychological therapies than younger people are. you don’t have to keep feeling down or worried, talking therapies can help you."

🌧️"I'm just feeling a bit under the weather, that's all"
👐"I'm not depressed, that's a thing the younger generation struggles with"
🧠"I'm too old for any help for my mental health"

👆They're just a couple of things we hear when we're out and about speaking to older adults about mental health.
