Customer Reviews

A fascinating journey for some-a revelation for others!

Griest has done a great service in compiling case studies for his readers. He has successfully shown that OCD cannot be "limited" to a certain set of manifestations in every patient but is a biological disorder that can affect each person differently. Having lived with OCD and the medicines that control it since I was very young, I found this book hard to put down! Knowing what OCD is-is one thing; however, being able to experience it through the variety of patients in this book was not only a revelation but a journey into my own sickness. I rated it a nine because the only thing that could have made this book a 10--was information on a permanent cure.
