Raising awareness of obsessive-compulsive disorder which develops in mothers and fathers around the time of childbirth. Important, but hugely underdiagnosed.

"#Breastfeeding with #OCD" - literature review done by @chrisha_jay & presented at @rcpsychPeri 2016 conference. I really admired how she also went beyond research databases to look at discussions by real parents in online forums to reveal some hidden themes on the issue #OCDweek

My young daughter has OCD and there is not enough awareness about it so it’s very important to raise the profile of OCD and charities like OCD-UK are invaluable! #ocdawarenessweek

Amy had such terrible thoughts about what she might do to her baby that she could barely function. Eventually she discovered she had postnatal OCD. In OCD Week of Action she blogs about her road to recovery > https://t.co/Zd5oAYGhM0

Big day for #LondonPerinatalMH as today the map turns green. Women all across London can now access specialist Perinatal MH Community teams🎉

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]

The launch of the services in London today is testament to a lot of hard work, including from women who spoke up about their own experiences to help ensure others would be able to access the help they did not receive. #everyonesbusiness

[Maternal OCD @maternalocd]

Encouraging to see perinatal OCD now recognised as one of the anxiety disorders to be treated as part of the perinatal mental health services - recovery is possible as long as the right treatment and support is offered and every woman deserves this @ocdaction
