What it's like to live with OCD

What it's like to live with OCD

Penny Moodie and Rosie Frankish are the Co-founders of So OCD, a website resource built to provide local support for Australians with OCD. Penny Moodie is an OCD advocate, with a background in media and communications, who is currently writing a book about OCD whilst studying for a social work degree. Rosie Frankish has a background in psychology and currently works in the community mental health sector, where she is involved in the development and delivery of specialist mental health and homelessness programs across Victoria.

In this episode, Penny and Rosie share their stories of being diagnosed with and living with OCD, and also what their personal journeys in therapy have been like. They explain the things that they have found helpful in treatment and everyday life, and what they want clinicians to know, from the perspective of someone who is in treatment for OCD.

This episode is part one of our two-part conversation with Penny and Rosie. Join us next time for part two, where they'll dive deeper into their own experiences with OCD, and in particular, how families can support their loved ones in treatment.
