The Man Who Couldn't Stop by David Adam

5.0

The Man Who Couldn’t Stop by David Adam is part memoir and part scientific explanations. Between tales of the author’s personal struggles is the science behind OCD – what it is, what it isn’t, and what common beliefs are completely wrong. I loved it because someone was finally able to articulate how I mentally process things and, even though I already knew that I’m not alone, it’s nice to see it in print in a way that doesn’t glamorize or demonize OCD. This isn’t a guidebook on how to deal with someone with it, but it does shine a light on some extraordinarily on-point aspects of the condition and can be incredibly helpful for anyone living with someone with OCD. Plus, it’ll make you laugh.
