This book sounds like a really interesting and eye-opening read. OCD is more common than many people realize, and can severely affect the lives of the people suffering, as well as their loved ones. I am working with A&E and their new show, Obsessed, that aims to raise awareness and understanding about OCD and similar disorders. We’d love your thoughts in the show. Thanks for the information on Life in Rewind.

Its nice’ to see so many people genuinely understand OCD. It’s very difficult in the real world for these kind of people who are termed mad by the “normal” ones.

My dad was cured of OCD. Life before was hell for him and the family. I think what helps is understanding that they cannot help themselves. Family support is vital. It is also important for friends and colleagues to be educated about their condition.

OCD complicates daily living. It’s a blessing just being normal in every way. I know a colleague of mine who is struggling with OCD. Career opportunities definitely are not the same once people at work know about a mental condition that can be detrimental to business.

We do need more therapist willing to help individuals as these. You’re right Carlton, we don’t understand this condition unless we have been faced with it pray for those people who do need help get it.

Sounds good on paper but harder to do in real life

My uncle was diagnosed with OCD. His OCD was cleanliness. He would always be having a bath, washing his hands etc. He died a very old man without ever seeing a therapist for it. His family chose to ignore it as it didnt upset anyone.

I did a paper once for a college psychology class on OCD and only wish this book had been available then. Everything that I read at that time was so negative but this one sounds a little more upbeat and positive. It is things like this along with the work of a great psychotherapist which go a long way toward giving people hope for getting their lives back.

You can’t understand how OCD can take over the lives of not only those who suffer but from the family members who have to help them to deal with it as well. It is so frustrating because what seems rational to the rest of us seems foreign to the one with OCD>
