A Thought is a Thought (...and here's what it's not): A Book About OCD - Paperback

by Olivia Jenkins (Author), Chad McCoy (Author)

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a scary, frustrating, and often times chronic mental health disorder. Individuals suffering from OCD struggle with intrusive, reoccurring thoughts, impulses, urges, or images known as obsessions; and compulsive behaviors that aim to reduce their worry and uncertainty in relationship to those thoughts, impulses, urges, or images. An estimated 1 in 100 children will experience OCD and it can take up to 11-years to get a formal diagnosis! Our hope is that this book can bring some insight and clarity to those who may be suffering and offer hope knowing that they are not alone in their struggles!

This book can be a great addition to any therapy, evaluation, doctor, or mental health clinic. It provides professionals of all levels easily introduce and explain OCD to parents and their children who may be experiencing symptoms consistent with OCD.
