Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Guide
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects approximately 2% of the population.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Guide, written by Dr. John Greist, a leading expert on OCD and other anxiety disorders, addresses the questions most frequently asked by patients and their families about this disorder and its treatment.
What is OCD? What causes OCD? How do I know if I have OCD and if I need treatment for this condition? How can my OCD be treated? This 65 page booklet addresses these and many other common questions about OCD. The booklet explains what OCD is and gives examples of the common obsessions and compulsions seen in patients. The possible causes of OCD are addressed, and the tools often used by doctors to diagnose OCD are included in this publication. A lengthy section on treatment includes separate sections for behavior therapy and medication therapy, the two effective types of treatment for OCD.
Dr. John Greist has authored more than 250 technical and lay publications about OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Guide is his most significant contribution to the lay literature on this topic, and although written specifically with the patient in mind, this booklet is also extremely useful to family members, friends, and medical professionals looking for an up-to-date, concise publication about OCD and its treatment.
Recently updated in July 2000, this guidebook covers all currently available anti-OCD medications, with information about the usual effective doses and what strategies can be used if medications don't help. The behavior therapy chapter includes a self-help section.
