From childhood OCD shame and medication to perinatal mental illness relationship OCD and group therapy this book provides an expansive and very personal insight into the complexities of the conditionand the life-changing impact that best-practice treatment can have. An invaluable resource for those suffering from OCD as well as for their families and loved ones The Joy Thief shines some much-needed light and hope on a disorder that is too often minimised and misunderstood.
