Understanding OCD: Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder in Inverness and the Highlands
At Highland Psychological Services Ltd, we are committed to improving mental health and wellbeing across Inverness, the Highlands, and beyond through both in-person and online therapy. One of the most commonly misunderstood conditions we treat is Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD)—a serious and often debilitating anxiety-related disorder that affects approximately 1.2% of the UK population. That’s nearly 750,000 people, and when we include families and loved ones who are often involved in supporting those affected, the impact of OCD reaches well over a million lives every day.
Understanding Baby Loss and the Impact on Fathers: A Call for Compassionate Perinatal Mental Health Support in Inverness and Beyond
At Highland Psychological Services, we understand that baby loss is one of the most profound and life-altering events a parent can experience. While much of the conversation around perinatal mental health has (rightly) centred on mothers, fathers and non-birthing partners—especially those in LGBTQ+ families—can often be left navigating their grief alone and unsupported.
Our perinatal mental health therapy services in Inverness and online are available to help both men and women process the complex emotions that accompany baby loss, including guilt, shame, isolation, and profound sadness.
