Description
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a very common mental disorder characterized by a feeling of compulsion to perform a certain act or engage in a particular thought. People suffering from OCD may face significant difficulties, sometimes their lives are severely limited, and they often feel like powerless victims. It previously seemed that this disorder was practically untreatable, but in recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding OCD and its treatment through both medication and psychotherapy. A concise and understandable book by our leading experts summarizes information on how to recognize this disorder, how it is treated by professionals, how patients can help themselves, and how their families can assist them. The text is supplemented with a number of stories.
