“The book gives readers a front row seat to watch the turmoil of the author’s life and mind. that itself is a triumph of honesty, openness, and self-awareness. The author’s voice is very relatable to readers who also struggle with OCD and anxiety.” Judge, Writer's Digest Self-Published e-book Awards.
26.2 percent of adults in the United States are diagnosed with a mental disorder in a given year. What if one of those individuals was able to vividly articulate the internal anguish of living with a debilitating condition such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD)? What if those details could help both those afflicted and mental health practitioners alike?
Nevrotico is a first-person narrative that goes well beyond the stereotypical hand-washing and germ phobia usually associated with OCD. The reader will become immersed in the 'anxiety experience' while exploring the potential environmental and physiological causes for this strange and mysterious malady.
Take a walk down the dimly lit streets of anxiety disorders. This is not a self-help book with a fairy tale ending; it is not a tome of hopelessness either. For a sufferer OCD or one of the many other anxiety disorders this book covers, one will be able to approach their healthcare practitioner, and simply point to a relevant chapter and say, “This is me.” For the healthcare professional, they will have the most accurate and articulate account of this dreaded condition seen to date.
