Listed among the top ten most debilitating illnesses by the World Health Organization, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can have a devastating effect on work, social life and personal relationships. Many people are too ashamed of their problem to seek help, and in addition professional treatment can be hard to access. Coping with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder offers expert advice and a thorough self-help programme based on solid scientific evidence.
 
Topics include:
- possible causes of OCD
- OCD in children and young people
- medication
- cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- coping with unhelpful thinking
- dealing with obsessive urges and rituals
- preventing and coping with setbacks
- related problems, such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), morbid jealousy, depression, social anxiety, substance abuse, phobias and tics.
 
In this widely researched book, Professor Kevin Gournay and colleagues say that if you have OCD you're not alone, and you don't have to suffer in silence. OCD is common and distressing, but the good news is that self-help can be very effective.
