Ready to learn more about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety? The Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre at Sunnybrook holds a monthly information session, Getting Started: Learning About OCD and Related Disorders Information Group, on the third Wednesday of every month.
The Thompson Centre is working hard to meet the needs of its clientele. However, there may be lengthy wait times for consultation and treatment. The Getting Started Group is a great way to learn and ask questions about OCD in the meantime.
The sessions aim to communicate information about OCD and related disorders. Each session covers a different topic, such as causes of OCD, medication and other treatments, community and web-based resources and strategies for self-care.
We invite persons with OCD and related disorders and/or their loved ones to attend these sessions.
Please understand that this is not a consultation or treatment service but rather it is an informational session intended to provide attendees with knowledge about OCD and OCD Related Disorders that may be helpful while you wait for consultation at our clinic, or as you think about getting treatment.
Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month, from 3:30 to 5 pm, at Sunnybrook’s Bayview Campus located at 2075 Bayview Avenue in Room EG 21. Click for a schedule of upcoming meetings.
