My late father John suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and in my later years I did too. I wish I had been aware earlier of the International OCD Foundation, which tries to help by research and training and by fostering a supportive community for those affected by OCD and the professionals who treat them. Their website connects people to treatment providers and support groups and helps school personnel and parents identify and treat OCD in children. The Foundation is conservative in the number of appeals it sends out asking for donations.
