Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

By Bruce M. Hyman and Cherry Pedrick

Book Overview

For most people, cleaning, worrying, and collecting are just optional activities that aren't given much thought. Sometimes overdoing it a little is bothersome to ourselves or others, but no big deal. For people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, these behaviors seriously interfere with daily living and can cause great distress. Long ago, most mental health professionals thought obsessive-compulsive disorder was untreatable. But thanks to decades of research into the disorder, there is now hope and help for people struggling with OCD. Book jacket.
