OCD Help Books To Help Manage Childhood OCD
When it comes to childhood OCD, I am a mum (not a therapist) who felt compelled to write The Mind Monsters books having experienced, first-hand, the effects that OCD and anxiety can have on children and families.
In my books, OCD is depicted as a monster called Hank, and the obsessions and compulsions side of the illness are portrayed as a game that Hank likes to play.
Hank’s character moves into the heads of vulnerable children prone to suffer from extreme anxiety and starts playing games in the form of issuing commands to carry out compulsions.
Both books share examples of OCD triggers and themes, as well as provide ways for children to start speaking up about OCD.
I donate 50% of what I make from my books to CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services).
