Publisher's summary

Diagnosing obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can be tricky, but when the symptoms are obvious, the conclusion is clear. OCD is quite common, and it is important to understand it. People who understand the disorder will have an easier time communicating and interacting with those who have it.

But here is a question: Why is it called “obsessive compulsive”, in the first place?

Aren’t obsessions and compulsions the same thing?

No, they are not. And although there are similarities, this audiobook will shed more light on this question.

Also, topics will be addressed, such as how our culture influences OCD behaviors, different perspectives from scientists and clinicians, and the issue with finding the right therapy. All in all, you will get a much better comprehension of what OCD involves.

Nice

Nice book. I recommend this to anyone who is trying to understand the disorder or who has a family member or friend who does.

This was interesting

I think OCD is an often misunderstood disorder and people who have it, have something really important to contribute. For example, I saw an episode in Scrubs (the TV series) in which one of the best surgeons had OCD. So I don't know if he was so great at what he did because of his OCD or despite of it, but one thing is sure: It's separate from a lot of people's skills and personal lives, but it's something they have to cope with and deal with the best way. The advice in this book was great. I liked it, and it sounded professional.
