Description: Written from a teenager's perspective, this book talks openly and honestly about what it's like to have OCD. It is packed with great advice and coping mechanisms, but, most of all, a voice that understands. This new edition includes an additional chapter written 16 years on describing where Joe is now, and how he has learned to overcome OCD.

Brief description: Dr Amita Jassi is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist at the National and Specialist OCD, BDD and Related Disorder Service for Children and Young People (South London and Maudsley NHS Trust). She lives in London, UK.

Review Quotes: A candid and logical illustration of the irrational nonsense a mind can throw at us, Joe's unique story and powerful conclusions are much more informative and uplifting than anything I've managed to privately muster ('it really didn't matter how many times you tapped that door handle she was going to dump you anyway'.)--Tom Rosenthal, actor and comedian
