I have OCD and am wondering if there are any saints one can adopt as their patron saint for the intercession for those with OCD in addition to St. Dymphna?
I read somewhere on the Internet that St. Therese of Lisieux had OCD and could be used as a patron saint for OCD but in the lists I’ve read of her causes, OCD/anxiety disorders isn’t among them.
What about the Virgin Mary? The causes she’s patron of doesn’t list OCD or anxiety disorders either, but can she be a patron saint for this anyway?

you’ll need to do the research but Saint Ignatious if that’s spelled right, had ocd and fought thoughts that are often associated ocd. and he beat it. i’d say that’s a good one if i got the name right.

i dont disagree!!! cool.
 
Can we pray to the Virgin Mary about anything, including her intercession for OCD even though she isn’t a patron saint for that?
