About this title

Synopsis

Previously considered a rare mental condition, now People, Time, Newsday, and Business Wire magazines note that OCD sufferers make up 2-3% of the population. Called the "silent disorder", people with OCD suffer from disturbing thoughts and behaviors that they can�t control. What medical conditions can cause symptoms similar to OCD? Why do medication and behavior therapy for OCD produce the same changes in the brain? What are the most effective treatments?

Learn what causes OCD, what treatments work best and which medications are most commonly prescribed in this quick-reference Compact Clinicals� book. Written for the professional in a jargon free, easy to read format.
