Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

About this book

Razan Muhammad Atiya discusses obsessive-compulsive disorder through the connections between unwanted thoughts, anxiety, doubt and repetitive behaviour. Recurring reassurance-seeking and the difficulty of living with uncertainty are considered alongside their effects on individuals and families. The book addresses the distinction between an intrusive thought and a person’s sense of identity, as well as responses to fears and recurring rituals. It is presented as informational reading, without a promise of self-diagnosis or a replacement for professional assessment when needed.
