Making a difference to OCD sufferers
Through the eyes of Katie, a 13-year-old teenager, this book teaches the reader about the often mocked, but usually misunderstood illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Written by Dr Amita Jassi, a clinical psychologist at the Maudsley-based children's national OCD clinic, and illustrated by Sarah Hall, the gentle approach to the writing and illustration means this book will appeal to audiences of all ages, in particular those trying to understand OCD for the first time.
The book takes the reader through Katie's journey, including the often-overlooked consequences of OCD and the emotional impact on the sufferer's life - in Katie's case, her education and relationships with her friends.
