Perspectives of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - Zine Making Workshop

Conversations about OCD often revolve around pop-culture representation, which centres on cleanliness and being organised. This workshop invites us to look beyond the diagnosis and to recognise the strengths, resilience, and humanity of individuals whose lives are often reduced to a diagnosis. We’ll create a space for experiences that often go unseen and unheard.

Come be part of an interactive space for dialogue and creative expression with persons with lived experience (PwLE), caregivers, NIMHANS representatives, and the public to explore addiction beyond stigma and substance use, and the people who are so much more than it.

We welcome people with lived experience of OCD, their caregivers, students, educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, members of civil society organisations, policymakers, and anyone interested in mental health and creating more compassionate conversations around addiction.
