Offers the latest findings on the causes, treatments, and medications for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and shows how impulses can be calmed through different psychotherapy techniques.

When you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), it can feel like your own mind is at war with itself. Instead of having productive and positive thoughts, you rehash the same worries and fears over and over again until they become unbearable. Did you really remember to lock the front door? What if you were to hit someone while driving your car? You may find yourself engaging in exhaustive rituals to keep these thoughts at bay. But soon, the doubts come back with a vengeance.Coping with OCD offers a simple and engaging program that can help anyone with mild to moderate OCD get started on the road to recovery. This book begins with a crash course on what OCD is-and what it is not. You'll learn a proven, three-part program for recovery that uses safe and gradual exposure to distressing thoughts and situations, mindfulness practice, and techniques to restructure thinking. Additional chapters address how families can help, dealing with shame and blame, depression, and maintaining progress. The book also includes a helpful list of resources for further reading and additional support.

The OCD Workbook serves as a supplemental resource for individuals dealing with OCD, emphasizing its role alongside professional therapy. It guides users through self-directed interventions while encouraging them to seek qualified mental health support for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The book also offers insights for family members, highlighting their supportive role rather than acting as therapists. A specific chapter outlines how trusted friends or family can assist in behavioral exercises, enhancing the self-help process for those affected by OCD.
