I agree with you that their isn't much understanding of OCD in this country.
They seem to have a better idea in the USA!
I'm sorry to hear about your partner and hope that things will get better for
him.
It is an awful disorder and I think boards like this are very good indeed. When
I was going through hell a number of years ago, I didn't have a clue what was
going on! I was scared to go and see the doctor, cos I thought he would lock me
up.
When I was told what I had it was a great relief.
I suppose I just want to see more action here. Sorry if it seemed I was
complaining. Just looking to see who was still active here I suppose.
Yours
Keith
