Hey guys and welcome to episode 146 of the OcD stories.

Now in this episode 146 of the O.CD stories.com podcast. Now in this episode I did some face-to-face

interviews five in fact at O. C. D. Actions head office. O. C. D. Action are a charity here in the UK, obviously focused on OCD.

sort of due diligence and investigate that to find what access you have to help and support and

obviously depending on the country the amount of stigma that may or may not be

there. So you know take a bit of salt but I really enjoyed this episode and I think you know their

personal stories around having a CD and working and a couple of them don't have

OCD however they're obviously involved with the charities

it's an interest to get their take as well there's also some talk around advice

for companies on how they can help people with OCD and HR teams so if you are a

company owner hopefully this is helpful for you, if not maybe
