I’m so glad to see presentations such as these given in schools. OCD is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented mental health disorders, and a teacher who understands and recognizes the disorder can make all the difference in the world: https://ocdtalk.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/ocd-and-school/
So thank you! I recount my son’s amazing journey through severe OCD in my recently published book, Overcoming OCD: A Journey to Recovery. OCD is a potentially devastating disorder, but it is also treatable. There is so much hope for those who suffer from it!
