The Intersection of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities

People with intellectual/developmental disabilities experience obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) equal to or more than people without disabilities. The cycles that come along with OCD can significantly affect someone’s quality of life. In our January Lunch & Learn, we will explore how OCD and related disorders can affect people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Some related disorders include body dysmorphic disorder and hoarding disorder.

Join us in January to learn about:

  • What obsessions and compulsions are most common

  • How OCD can affect individuals across the lifespan

  • Similarities and differences between OCD and autism
