OCD and depression - Annabel鈥檚 story

This film uses the testimony of a young girl called Annabel to create an intimate portrait of how coping with OCD can feel. Annabel explains how her compulsions affected her daily life at school and at home, and ultimately led her to reaching rock bottom before she received help.

The film鈥檚 strong visuals may open up students鈥� eyes to how having an OCD can feel, the way it relates to stress, and how classmates鈥� behaviour can affect a person suffering from OCD and depression.

This animation may be particularly useful for teachers to use in discussions about understanding others, how to deal with stress and loss, and what to do when feeling low.

Teaching PSHE?

You could use the film to start a discussion about what might make a person feel stressed or sad, and what you can do to help someone in Annabel鈥檚 situation.
