Guiding your search for contemporary visual arts in Brighton

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common psychiatric illness and among the most debilitating. Despite this, it is often neglected and carries much stigma. Working with researchers and a group of individuals with lived experience, we created a digital toolkit and animation that share engaging and evidence-based information about what we currently know about the brain’s role in OCD. The easy to understand animation, coupled with clear information on how OCD alters normal functioning in individuals living with this disorder, the OCD and the Brain project hopes to bring clear, concise information to those affected by OCD.

Led by Dr Tobias Hauser’s research into why OCD mostly emerges during adolescence and how brain development contributes to OCD, the project team have identified that there is a need to reach those who could benefit from neuroscience insights. Over the last 18 months researchers from the Wellcome Centre have worked with a lived experience group to better understand the brain’s role in OCD. By working with, and co-creating neuroscience-informed resources with and for those living with OCD that are relevant to their needs, the project aims to bridge the knowledge gap that exists between the research and the OCD community.

As the creative partners on the project, we created and facilitated workshops to inform the design, with the outcome being a friendly, open knowledge online hub that brings together scientific research, lived experience and vital resources. Working with the team to visually realise this project and make this research public and accessible has been a privilege for the design studio.
