In "The Secret Problem", Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is explained in clear and simple language. Cartoons are used to help children, teenagers and their parents understand the problem and its treatment.

The book identifies OCD as a biological problem and clearly describes how the individual and the family are not to blame for its onset. Instead it describes how to fight the problem and bring the symptoms under control.

With modern treatment and the support of family and friends, the outlook for those who have Obsessive Compulsive disorder is much brighter.
