Living with OCD

Standout Features:

• Interactive
• Clean and minimal design
• Parallax effects

Living with OCD is a brief and interactive introduction to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) created for Mental Health Awareness Month, meant to educate, and share resources and real stories to create awareness and reduce stigma and misconceptions around the condition.

The website, courtesy of Design by LA, has two main goals: to properly resolve any misunderstanding about a disorder (ranked seventh on the World Health Organization’s list of most disabling illnesses) that is often misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and trivialized even today. Secondly, the site aims to become a safe space where people can share their OCD journeys bring themselves some relief, and help anyone that struggles or feels left alone.

The design itself is meant to reflect and alleviate the effects of OCD. The clean design, well-planned architecture, and easy-to-read content are the key features to achieving this purpose. Easy navigation and the separation of ideas are masterfully laid out.

Additionally, the on-brand, 3-D illustrations make the website feel fresh and they help communicate abstract ideas in unexpected ways while giving a distinct character to the entire narrative.
