Rated by buyers -
I've just been officially 'diagnosed' with OCD, and found this book to be very helpful to someone 'new' to finding info about OCD. This is the very first OCD book I've read, and plan on reading others in the same category soon. The book's structure is a question/answer format. Chapters discuss symptoms, related disorders, diagnosis, causes, medications, various therapies, and other ways to help yourself and how others can help you. It's very easy to read and very detailed... no long case stories (just a few short examples), but rather straightforward information about OCD. Some of the information is repetitive towards the end, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because it fits well into the content.
