About this episode
This week on "Science and Society", Drew & Liv sit down with scientist-turned-author, Dr. David Adam, to get a look into his journey with OCD and why society must bring attention to this disease. Before it's all over, you'll know how to recognize obsessions, the current progress of pharmaceutical research and development for OCD, and how one chemical engineer became an author and advocate.
David's incredible book, The Man Who Couldn't Stop: OCD and the True Story of a Life Lost in Thought is available on Amazon.
If you or a loved one is struggling with OCD, the International OCD Foundation can provide you with resources and first-step support.
