2024 Virtual OCD-UK Conference - Welcome to Hotel OCD-UK, flying the flag for recovery!
OCD symptoms across the menstrual cycle
The presentation will be facilitated by a member of the OCD-UK team.
Presentation subject
This presentation will highlight existing research into the menstrual cycle and OCD and some of the theories/current understandings about why symptoms change across the menstrual cycle. I will explain why consideration for the menstrual cycle is important for clinicians, researchers and people who experience OCD.
I will also cover the research I am conducting in this area, for which we are currently recruiting participants. I will give an overview of the psychological model we have applied to explain why OCD may be vulnerable to premenstrual exacerbation. I will end by signposting a list of resources/charities for individuals who feel they experience changes in symptoms across the menstrual cycle.
