“OCD and the Brain” Hub Now Available in German

Published by admin

The knowledge hub “OCD and the Brain,” developed by researchers, charities, and lived experience experts to inform the public about the lesser-known brain effects of OCD, has expanded to the German-speaking world. Professor Tobias Hauser and his team identified a significant lack of resources in German-speaking countries and addressed this gap with the support of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung. Thanks to their backing, a German website has been launched, reaching a wide audience. The initiative has also garnered media attention, with coverage by the German news channel SWR (read here), the German newspaper Schwäbisches Tagblatt (read here), the German health portal (read here) and the German Center for Mental Health “DZPG” (read the German article here, or the English version here). We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the lived experience experts, clinicians, and the Carl Zeiss Stiftung for their invaluable contributions to the German translation of our website. Your support has enabled us to reach a wider audience and inform the public about OCD and its associated brain correlates! Visit the website here: https://ocdandthebrain.com/de
