New Survey Reveals More than Half of Adults with OCD Say the Disorder Has a Negative Impact on Relationships at Home, Work and in Their Personal Life

Anxiety Disorders Association of America Launches "Treat It, Don't Repeat It: Break Free From OCD," a National Educational Campaign

More than half of adults with untreated obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) reported their condition has a negative impact on important relationships - at work, at home, and in their personal life, according to a new national survey commissioned by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) and conducted by Harris Interactive. OCD is a debilitating anxiety disorder that affects more than 2 million American adults.

Of those who have received treatment for their OCD, 76 percent said it had a positive impact on their friendships, 67 percent (of those employed) reported a positive effect on their professional relationships and 62 percent reported a positive impact on their ability to have romantic relationships.
