Join SADAG’s #Facebook Friday this week Friday, 22 October between 1pm and 2pm.

Clinical Psychologist and SADAG Board Member, Shai Friedland, will be unpacking Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Phobias. With COVID-19 at play and more and more people getting vaccinated, these factors may be increasing anxiety levels for those who have been diagnosed with OCD or a phobia.

Covid-19 has led to many, who struggle with phobias related to needles, to feel extremely overwhelmed. Others, who have thoughts and fears about cleanliness may be having more compulsive behaviours around cleaning and washing hands. Our guest speaker will be discussing the signs, symptoms and causes of OCD and how to deal with the cycle of obsession which leads to compulsion.

Learn more about how to support someone with a phobia and/or OCD – Knowing how to cope with this level of Anxiety may help ease your loved one’s daily challenges. Just like any other Mental Illness, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions associated with OCD and phobias that our expert will shed light on. We also discuss the resources that are available for those that are diagnosed with OCD or have phobias that could give them some level of relief in something that could potentially have a massive influence on their daily lives.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about these mental illnesses, get self- help tips and tools to use when you, or someone you know are struggling to cope with OCD or phobias.
