With insight and anecdotes from an OCD patient-advocate, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Demystified makes great strides in dispelling the mystery surrounding this condition, helping readers decide if it’s time to seek treatment and providing those with this anxiety disorder the information they need to better manage their lives.
