Caregiver discrimination also know as Family Responsibilities Discrimation (FRD). This refers to prejudice or unfair treatment directed at individuals who provide care for others, especially when caring for someone with a disability or chronic illness.

Understanding OCD: Breaking Down Misconceptions

People with OCD don’t “choose” their thoughts or compulsions. Telling someone to “just get over it” is dismissive, harmful, and perpetuates ableist attitudes. If someone has lived with OCD for decades and tried all known interventions, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), medication, counseling, and even alternative therapies such as hypnosis, it is unjust to boil their suffering down to a fad.
