NOCD is the most disgusting, evil, and terrible app for OCD that exists. They put out a mainstream ad essentially claiming that health anxiety is a key defining feature of OCD, which is not at all the case for very many. This can warp professional opinions of patients with OCD, potentially harming thousands of innocent people. Furthermore, people without an understanding of OCD, such as your friends or people that you know, are going to invalidate all of your health troubles, if you actually have them, because of harmful ads like this. People with OCD are not necessarily likely to be hysterical, hypochondriacs, or to have ‘health anxiety’, the modern term for saying someone is a self absorbed idiot who is not grounded in reality. It is only somewhat vaguely connected.
