Doubt and Other Disorders "Mary" I've never known life without OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). From as far back as I can remember intrusive, unwanted thoughts and fears have plagued me. The first "episode" of OCD that I can clearly remember was when I was about 5 years old. I became totally obsessed with thoughts about heaven, hell and eternity. I was raised in a church going home where religion and spirituality were very important. I would spend hours trying to figure out "eternity". I felt that if I could somehow "figure" it out, I would be okay. Visit Doubt and Other Disorders to continue reading when you click here.

A
former Wall Street banker who said he lost $3 million from compulsive
gambling caused by a popular drug used to treat Parkinson's disease is suing
companies involved with the drug for his losses. 
In
this highly provocative book, Stephen Ray Flora maintains that we
have been deceived into believing that whatever one's psychological
problem--from anxiety, anorexia, bulimia, depression, phobias,
sleeping and sexual difficulties to schizophrenia--there is a drug
to cure us. In contrast, he argues that these problems are
behavioral, not chemical, and he advocates behavioral therapy as an
antidote. 
"Social Anxiety, Social Phobia"
Sharing
your life with others, especially people you don't yet know, can be
difficult. Writing a journal also takes some time, energy and real
commitment. Imagine pouring your thoughts and feelings out a few
times a week.
