You have reached the online home of the OCD Centre Manitoba, Inc. (OCDC),
located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
We are a group that strives to assist and educate
people affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and spectrum disorders
such as trichotillomania, hypochondriasis, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
It is estimated that OCD affects two to three
percent of the population. In a city the size of Winnipeg, which has a
population of approximately 600 000 people, 12 000 to 18 000 could possibly be
affected.
OCD knows no racial, religious, or socio-economic
boundaries. It often surfaces at puberty although it can start as early as 18
months or as late as 40 years depending on the circumstances of an individual.
Feel free to browse through the site. Any
questions can be directed to
