Some students can experience symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It's advisable to consult a GP in the first instance, to get a diagnosis and information about appropriate treatment.
Also, let your personal tutor or course leader know if you're having difficulties affecting your studies – they are there to help, and can offer useful advice and support.
You can also access advice and support from us in the Student Wellbeing Service and we can also help you access appropriate NHS mental health services, where relevant.
You can learn skills to help you manage some of the factors contributing to OCD, and there is a lot of other support available.
