＊關於心理疾病，最值得一讀的精采作品！ ＊《紐約時報》《週日泰晤士報》《衛報》《獨立報》《華盛頓郵報》《科克斯書評》《自然雜誌》等英美媒體熱烈好評！ ＊根據WHO公布，強迫症已是最常見的精神疾病第四名、第十大失能病症，其發生率是思覺失調症和自閉症的兩倍，對生活品質的衝擊大於糖尿病！ 是什麼原因，讓一名女學生吃掉家裡的一整面牆？ 是什麼原因，讓一對兄弟不斷囤積垃圾，最後竟然死於垃圾山底？ 是什麼原因，讓偶然掠過腦海的念頭，成為一場永無止境的腦內風暴？ 強迫症不只是反覆洗手、檢查門窗和一絲不苟地排列物品， 而是活生生被自己的大腦綁架！ 本書揭開強迫症的秘密，帶你窺看人心底難以描述的幽微！ 提到「強迫症」，你會想到什麼？ 一絲不苟的室內擺設？不停洗手消毒？老是檢查門窗和瓦斯？ 事實上，強迫症患者未必有這些外顯的行為，最令他們困擾的，反而是不請自來的執念。 這些執念在腦中盤旋不去，霸占所有的思考空間，甚至一輩子都擺脫不掉。但強迫症患者往往要隱忍十年以上才願意尋求協助，更有七成左右的患者從未諮詢過專業人員。 身為罹患強迫症超過二十年的病患，作者結合科學研究、歷史實例和個人經驗，從各個面向剖析強迫症的成因與治療方法，讓讀者了解夏日晴空翩然而降的雪花，如何演變成不合時宜的暴風雪，並探討這些奇思怪想如何使數千萬人踏上強迫症的不歸路。 光是叫強迫症患者理智一點，是絕對沒有效果的， 就像大叫根本無法讓失速的車子減速一樣──除非修好煞車。 媒體評論 強迫症就像一場神祕的惡夢，人人都有機會碰上，對它的了解卻少得可憐。本書以少見的誠實、開放和幽默，帶領我們探索有關強迫症的一切，不但改變你的認知，甚至可能改變你的生活和工作。──作家　麥特．海格 作者個人風格明顯、內容引人入勝、寫作水準超群，並誠實地告訴我們該如何面對與正視這種疾病，而非嘲笑、汙名和醜化。──《華盛頓郵報》 作者是位絕佳嚮導，帶領讀者走進唯有強迫症患者才得以了解的世界。對患者來說，本書不但提供了安慰，也帶來了希望。──《紐約時報》書評 本書除了講述神經與精神醫學的相關發展、心理層面那些令人傷感卻無能為力的部分，也描述這種疾病如何一再遭到誤解和錯待。全書高潮迭起，不但有幽暗、有光明、有心碎，也有希望，是難得一見的科普書籍。──作家　布麗姬．舒特 作者在幽默與嚴肅的事實之間取得了絕妙的平衡，偶爾的會心一笑反而更能凸顯本書的意義所在。──《出版人週刊》 **作者簡介 大衛．亞當（David...
