    About this ebook

    This book was designed to help parents of children diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. As someone who has struggled with this illness, I know firsthand what it's like to grow up feeling like something is wrong with you and not know what it is. Hopefully by reading my book you can gain the courage and knowledge that you need to team up with your child to fight their OCD and WIN!

    Cynthia Cossu

    My name is Cynthia and I have suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from a very early age. It is a challenge every day; one that I would not wish upon anyone! My hope is to raise awareness of OCD and help children get help earlier on in their lives. We CAN beat OCD and win! :)

      You just stepped out of the Psychiatrist office, and your mind is spinning with thoughts. How could this have happened? Where did my child get this? I don't understand. We did everything right. Well he couldn't have gotten it from my side of the family!! All of these thoughts and more may be crossing your mind right now. You're not sure of what the future holds for your child, and you feel scared and alone. Have no fear! You are NOT alone! I'm going to tell you what to expect, what to you should DO and what you should definitely NOT to do.
