“My daughter send me this test. I knew something was wrong. I didn't think it can actually be OCD but I knew it was not normal. When I read about this in a magazine, I learnt I can also maybe have it. This test told what I was feeling and going through was real, and gave me the courage to tell my family about it, and after showing my results, I am finally taking support from an OCD therapist.”

“I've had trouble keeping jobs. The way I went about things often got in the way and would cause trouble. I would spend too much time worrying about things that never seemed to bother anyone else or maintaining habits no one else could understand. My friends said I would often act paranoid and extreme. I didn't think it was a problem until I took this test. I started looking into it and learned that not everyone lives like this. As such, I've booked my first appointment with a psychiatrist this week.”

I like how simple and effective the test was. It was over in five minutes. The questions were easy to answer too; they did not ask for any documentation or records. I wanted to talk in depth with an expert about my own experiences and history with certain symptoms, which was not possible with a test. It prepared me for a typical mental health assessment and made my answers more clear. I appreciate that it was not just some online test, but there were actual experts who understood my queries.

“Taking Heart It Out's OCD test was a really validating experience. I was worried for my mental health when I took this test, as the symptoms I would experience were not problems any of my friends or family experienced or related to themselves… so I was really scared. It was nice to know that what I'm going through has a name and that I'm not alone in it. I'm going to consult a mental health professional soon to learn about the different ways I can cope with this and get medication to help me sleep better”

“Taking this test gave me the reassurance I was looking for. I tend to overthink most things and was worried I was at a high risk of developing OCD. However, the results gave me the comfort I was looking for. Although I do have a penchant for overthinking, it is relieving to know that I do not have to worry about developing OCD. My consultation with the psychiatrist post the test gave me tips on not spiralling in my thoughts.

I had always been curious as to why I had sexual thoughts all the time. I thought it was just the way everybody’s brain functions and lived with it for years. When I came across Heart It Out’s OCD diagnostic test, I wanted to try it out for fun. Even when my results were clearly explained I couldn’t believe it. I am in therapy for over 6 months now and have learnt to understand the impact my thoughts have. I am happy for the support from Heart It Out.
