Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Is anyone aware of good self-help or autobiographical books out there at the the young adult level? Quote
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 When my now 13 year old daughter was first really showing signs/symptoms of OCD, I found a book entitled " Touch and Go Joe: An Adolescent's Experience of OCD " by Joe Wells. He looks at his disease and treatment in a unique and oftern humorous way. I tried to get my daughter to read it then, but she was still in denial about her OCD. I read it, and am going to try and have her read it this year now that she has been seeing someone. Quote
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 My 13 yr. old son and I read this book together last winter and I think that he really enjoyed hearing how another teen dealt with his OCD and the humor was an added bonus! It seemed to help us relax a little bit and to see that there is hope for all who suffer with this brain disorder. Kim Quote
