Description
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessions (intrusive and unwanted thoughts, urges etc) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours one feels driven to in response to the obsession)
OCD is often a very personal experience related to traumatic incidents or a build up of anxiety over time due to a multitude of factors, it can also be a co-morbid with other forms of neurodivergence (Autism, Tourettes, etc) . While we want to avoid stereotyping, this particular version of OCD rabbit is based on symptoms of this particular Designer and is not a commentary on what OCD looks like for everyone!
Symbolism:
Red Marks for Skin picking and obsessive washing
Mask for concern about contaimination and germs
Red eyes for loss of sleep over intrusive thoughts
Removable brain for stress relief
IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.
