Riassunto

In this book for young people who have been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Jared Kant discusses his own experiences with the illness, and the disruption and distress that it brought to his life as an adolescent. Combining this personal story with a candid and easy-to-understand description of the science behind OCD, Kant (now an adult who healthily and successfully manages his illness) also provides the facts that young people diagnosed with OCD need, such as how to find professional help, what types of therapies are available for this disorder, and how to deal with stressful situations at home and at school.

Recensione:

This book would be helpful for those who are diagnosed with OCD at a young age. (School Library Journal)

L'autore:

help...These resources add to the educative function of the book.... Reading the book will certainly inform and answer questions. I suspect, however, that Kant's purpose is toinspire young people who are confused about their condition and want to find a better life. He does just that in a book filled with courage, optimism, and hope."--James K. Luiselli, Ed. D. ABPP, BCPA, the May Institute. | k yes Foundation's website for teens and young adults.
