Book description
Arguably one of the most complex emotional disorders, Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder is surprisingly common. Furthermore, most people at
some time in their lives exhibit a smattering of OCD-like symptoms.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder For Dummies sorts out the
otherwise curious and confusing world of obsessive compulsive
disorder. Engaging and comprehensive, it explains the causes of OCD
and describes the rainbow of OCD symptoms. The book shows readers
whether OCD symptoms represent normal and trivial concerns (for
example, a neat freak) or something that should be checked out by a
mental health professional (for example, needing to wash hands so
often that they become raw and red). In easy to understand steps, the
authors lay out the latest treatments that have been proven to work
for this disorder, and provide practical and real tools for living
well long-term. Whether you or someone you care about has this
disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder For Dummies gives you
an empathic understanding of this fascinating yet treatable mental
disorder.
