Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Awareness Week

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a policy bill), designating October 12-18, 2026, as "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Awareness Week" in Florida. It does not create new laws or alter existing programs; its sole purpose is to formally recognize and promote public awareness about OCD during that week. The resolution highlights OCD's prevalence (affecting ~1 in 40 adults in the U.S.) and the need to combat stigma, aligning with the International OCD Foundation's annual observance. It directly affects public awareness efforts in Florida but has no direct impact on individuals, healthcare providers, or legislation.
