Wristbands<\/strong> carrying the message ‘Just a Thought?’<\/mark>\u00a0slogan are the popular awareness initiative from OCD-UK first launched back in 2006 and are still selling strong over a decade later!<\/p>\n

The wristbands are partly to raise awareness of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but also to act has a therapeutic aid for those struggling with the condition. The message debossed on the band, ‘JUST A THOUGHT?’ not only helps explain the condition, but also helps remind sufferers during tougher moments that their obsessive thoughts are just that, thoughts which the OCD questions.<\/p>\n

The ‘Just a Thought?’ slogan was coined by OCD-UK discussion forum<\/a> user Michelle Dean<\/strong>, who said she hoped the wristbands would help sufferers and non-sufferers alike to understand the condition, which affects two to three per cent of the population. She said: “OCD is so misunderstood. Sufferers all know that what they worry about is just a thought, and I hope that wearing the band will remind them of that when they have a bad moment. The question mark tells the story of OCD. People who don’t have OCD can have a negative thought and put it away without question. For OCD sufferers, it may become an obsession, and that in turn can lead to their compulsions.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The wristbands are all made of silicone and with all proceeds going to OCD-UK.\u00a0 Each wristband comes wrapped in its own individual sealed packet.<\/p>\n

They now come with the option of non-coloured debossed text for those wanting a little discreetness, or white coloured debossed text for those wanting to raise awareness! – Please be sure to select your preferred option before adding to the cart.<\/p>\n
