It is my pleasure to introduce myself as Shaun Daniel Carl Flores, a 28-year-old UK-based mental health advocate/activist. I have been a mental health advocate for people with OCD for a number of years. My OCD diagnosis earlier this year turned my world upside down. Depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation were my companions for a series of months. In order to combat my pain, I have turned it into my passion. I am passionate about raising awareness of OCD and having more people from ethnic communities share their experiences with it.
