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.
