You're not alone
OCD is common, affecting around 2% of the world’s population.
At your own pace
You decide when to progress. The pace is set just for you at a speed you’re comfortable with.
It's private
Your coach just sees your messages and progress; everything else is only for you.
This research study is comparing two interventions: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” (app-based) and a “Health and Well-Being Program” (web-based). We would like to find out which intervention is more effective for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD involves uncontrollable thoughts and behaviors that can cause anxiety or distress and impact your daily life.
Many people with OCD are unable to get help because of their location, lack of available therapists, or the costs of treatment. We hope that developing and testing these digital health interventions may eventually give more people with OCD access to treatment.
These digital health programs are part of a research study at Massachusetts General Hospital. There is no cost associated with participation. This research study was approved by the Institutional Review Board.
