Know OCD Foundation

OCD isn't a joke


We're here to share the truth about OCD and deliver effective care.

Our Mission

 To redefine OCD’s connotation to what it’s actually like and to help people with the condition get affordable treatment.

Purpose statement

The purpose of the KnowOCD Foundation is to redefine OCD, increase awareness about OCD, and help those suffering from OCD receive affordable care by providing grants for therapy services.

KnowOCD was inspired by Stephen's Struggle with OCD in College

"I went from an award-winning college QB to housebound in 6 months due to misdiagnosed and untreated OCD.  I fortunately got OCD treatment, improved my mental health, returned to school, and finished my football career.  To help millions of others with OCD regain their life, I started the KnowOCD Foundation."
