by Ryan Bernstein
My name is Ryan Bernstein. I’m a seventeen-year-old high school student with OCD. For many years, I was unable to share my OCD feelings with others. I worried about what people might think, and how negatively I might be judged. I didn’t appreciate then that taking charge of OCD can come by helping others.
In my book,OCD to Me: An Anthology of Anxieties,sixty courageous individuals open their hearts and share what having OCD feels like. Reading their compelling journeys will inspire and educate. For those who have OCD this book will show you that you are not alone. For those who have loved ones who suffer with OCD you will understand their pain. For those who are curious about OCD or think they may have OCD this book will give you the facts.
OCD to Mefeatures a foreword by Dr. Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist, author, speaker, nationally recognized OCD expert, and founder of the Renewed Freedom Center in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Yip shares her personal battle with OCD, and why she has dedicated her professional career to treating families and individuals with severe OCD and anxiety disorders using a comprehensive modality she developed.
Two Ph.D. psychologists, Drs. James Claiborn and Fred Penzel, who are also OCD leaders, contribute chapters filled with valuable treatment information, tips, and practical advice about how to manage OCD.
Ethan Smith, a national OCD ambassador, shares how struggling with OCD positively changed his life.
Also included in this book is information about the International OCD Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission to “increase access to effective treatment, end the stigma associated with mental health issues, and foster a community for those affected by OCD and the professionals who treat them.”
There is hope is in these pages as this short video visually depicts:
