Part memoir, part self-help for teens, Being Me with OCD tells the story of how obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) dragged the author to rock bottom—and how she found hope, got help, and eventually climbed back to a fuller, happier life. Using anecdotes, self-reflection, guest essays, and thorough research, Dotson explains what OCD is and how readers with OCD can begin to get better. With humor, specific advice, and an inspiring, been-there-beat-that attitude, readers will find the book simultaneously touching and practical.

      Gr 9 Up-Dotson shares her personal story of a lifetime struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in this honest, often-humorous title. The author suffered with an obsession about religion and with a fear of harming others, as well as depression, for more than a decade before she was diagnosed. By sharing her story, she aims to reassure teens with OCD that they aren't alone and to encourage them to get help as soon as possible so that they can lead richer, fuller lives. The book not only includes Dotson's personal story but also covers practical information about OCD, steps to getting help, therapy and medication, and checklists of symptoms. Dotson employs an informal, conversational tone that will resonate with teens as she discusses OCD in general and her own personal experiences. Stories from other young adults diagnosed with OCD interspersed throughout break up the text and add alternate perspectives. This title provides clear, concise content and would be an excellent addition to most teen collections.-Joy Poynor, Rogers Public Library, AR
