      Abstract

      "People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them" – Epictetus.

      The quote above aptly highlights the profound influence of thoughts on life. This theme resonates throughout Dr. P.J. Saju's Malayalam book Ente OCD Sathyanweshana Pareekshanangal. (translated as OCD- My Experiments with Truth) The author aims to improve understanding and awareness of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) among readers, and the book successfully fulfills this purpose. It underscores that OCD extends beyond the stereotypical notions of excessive washing or cleaning, delving into its complexities. The book serves as an easy-to-use self-help guide for anyone who desires to use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to overcome OCD.
