Understanding Ocd

By Jennifer Lombardo

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is often dismissed as a desire for cleanliness and organization. However, in reality, it is a distressing mental illness that can target multiple areas of a person's life, causing panic attacks that a person tries desperately to control with compulsive behaviors. The down-to-earth main text, enhanced with informative sidebars, demystifies the often-confusing thoughts and behaviors associated with OCD. Designed to offer hope, this volume equips teens with tools to manage their symptoms, seek support, and understand what is happening inside their mind.
