Many people understand the #anxiety of wanting to make sure something is done right - but what if you can't stop making sure? This is a very real feeling for people who live with OCD.

#OCD takes many forms, but a common symptom is #anxiety. As with all #MentalHealth conditions, ensuring that people get the care they need can help reduce those symptoms - which in turn helps reduce drug use. Good #MentalHealth is #prevention!

#PreventionWorks, including for #MentalHealth disorders! The earlier we address issues, the bigger the benefit. The sooner we teach resilience, the greater the likelihood that drug use never starts at all.

#Depression is a known risk factor for #SubstanceUse. Learn the symptoms, talk to your friends and loved ones if you see the signs, and get rid of judgement - compassion leads to understanding, which is what leads to real healing. #PreventionWorks!
