Charlene Salvador, BBA

Charlene Salvador has been a member of the IOCDF for almost 15 years but is not a social worker, a research scientist, or a psychiatrist.  She is an advertising professional who was diagnosed with OCD almost 20 years ago.  Charlene has been living with OCD and its demons but has fought it with effective treatment.  She has succeeded in treatment with medication, outpatient therapy at Mount Sinai Medical Center in NYC, and was an inpatient at the OCDI, which is an intensive residential center at McLean Hospital in Boston. She is currently working on relapse prevention with her therapist in NY.  Charlene has also been an advocate of helping others with OCD to gain awareness and obtain the treatment that they need. For example, she was featured on an OCD special documentary on the Discovery Channel and also shared her personal story on the Mount Sinai Hospital website.  By sharing her story, she hopes that it will inspire people to seek proper treatment, as well as understand that they are not alone in their struggle.
