news mental health

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, may not always look as it does in popular culture—repetitive hand-washing, flicking light switches, or arranging objects in a precise order. According to the latest research highlighted in a recent feature by The New York Times, OCD manifests in numerous, often hidden ways that many individuals and even clinicians may not recognize, leading to under-diagnosis and misunderstanding of this complex mental health disorder (nytimes.com).

This development is especially significant for Thai readers and healthcare professionals, as it expands the conventional image of OCD and aims to reduce stigma while encouraging early identification and more effective treatment in Thailand. Mental health awareness is on the rise nationwide, but recognizing the less visible faces of OCD remains a challenge both for those affected and society at large.
