By the age of 13, Lily Bailey was convinced she was bad. She had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and ogled the bodies of other children. Only by performing an exhausting series of secret routines could she make up for what she'd done. But no matter how intricate or repetitive, no act of penance was ever enough. Beautifully written and astonishingly intimate, Because We Are Bad recounts a childhood consumed by obsessive compulsive disorder.

An estimated five million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.

The audio contains the unaltered self-dialogue (self-interview) scripts of the doctoral research. The audio excursion is designed to capture the sensual attention through manifestation of OCD's common attributes. Through heightened awareness, the author invites us to pathways to self-discovery and change, exploring an experience in and by itself rather than numbing it with the next dose of treatment.

Interesting insight

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting insight into the life of someone with OCD. Although I am aware of how unique each person's struggles can be with OCD, I think this book identified how MUCH of a struggle this disorder can be. Thank you Derek, for sharing your story.
