A new Executive Order assesses the use of some medications prescribed to young people, including SSRIs, raising concerns about potential restrictions on these essential treatments.
For children and teens with OCD, SSRIs are a critical, evidence-based option that helps them manage symptoms and fully participate in therapy, school, and daily life. Limiting access could have serious consequences for those who rely on them.
We urge you to contact your legislators and ask them to protect access to effective OCD treatment.

@labubuforest @EllenDeGeneres #OCD isn’t funny. It ruins lives and teaches people they can’t trust themselves. When people reduce OCD to the stereotypes of excessive handwashing or being organized they miss the true debilitating nature of OCD. This minimizes the harm of OCD and hurts those who truly suffer
"So I have ADD I have #OCD...But I think I'm well-adjusted because I obsess on things but I don't have the attention span to stick with it and I quickly forget what I was obsessing about in the first place."- @EllenDeGeneres-This language is harmful. STOP. https://t.co/cBs14h9jnH

Second time's a charm! Today I passed the California Law & Ethics exam, my last hurdle to getting licensed in CA! This was entirely due to Dr. Ben Caldwell's training (@HighPassEdu) which was helpful in so many ways. I'd recommend it to anyone who has to suffer through this exam

So far my favorite part of Ben Caldwell's training on California Law and Ethics (@HighPassEdu) is his pet peeve of people spelling HIPAA as HIPPA. Finally! Someone else who understands how much this irks me! https://t.co/AkSie1OrkG
