LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio, Aug. 28, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Do you keep checking little things over and over again? Are you caught up in routines you are compelled to do? Are there persistent thoughts that circle endlessly in your mind? Then you may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Know more about this ailment -- and its connection to alcoholism -- in Randall Baird's candid memoir.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder recounts how author Baird grew up in a supportive family during the Fifties and Sixties -- a time which afforded him boundless opportunities. However, at a young age, it was discovered that he suffered from what today is known as OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. For him, this disorder manifested itself in the form of constant and severe anxieties. Since little was known of this disorder when he was young, Randy quickly learned how to cope and cover up any signs of his problem.
After fifty years battling this monster, along with an ongoing struggle with alcoholism, he has decided to open up and share his experiences that only his immediate family knew of. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder expresses his finding the meaning of life in spite of the pain and suffering of OCD and alcoholism. As his pastor puts it, "I have known the author for over twenty years. Time has proven he has indeed discovered the secret to overcoming one of life's most difficult challenges. If you struggle with OCD or know someone who does, this book is absolutely a must read!" - Timothy E. White, pastor and author
