Fatima Yusuf

Wheat Stalk Swaying, not Severed Fatima Yusuf

The processes of self-help for emerging out of ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder (OCD), dealing with relapse and sustaining recovery, may appear complex on the surface. This book, which has a series of illustrated quotes paired with real life cases based on the author's experiences, highlights that recovery can be simple and facilitated by the self. There is deep stigma associated with OCD, not only in society but also in the minds of those affected by the disorder about themselves. The author unravels seemingly complicated situations and presents easy to comprehend solutions, which are visualised via the illustrator's creations that speak as aloud as the words around them. This book in no way attempts to replace medical treatment. It is onlya tool which can enhance the process of recovery.
