Begging the Question: poems on OCD & depression Sherwyn Jellico

Step into the mind of a man battling doubt, anxiety and despair. A collection of over 150 poems about OCD and depression. I wrote these over the last 4 years, after making the shocking discovery that I'd been living with undiagnosed "Pure O" OCD all of my adult life. Through supplementary sections at the back of the book, I'll teach you a little bit about OCD & depression; I'll walk you through my lifelong journey with OCD; I will take a look at certain assumptions that get made about OCD regarding CBT therapy and SSRI medication; and finally I'll tie it all together with a controversial critique on how governments, big pharma and private healthcare companies exploit those assumptions for profit. Maybe you have OCD or depression?Maybe you just want to learn more about these disorders and what it's like to have them?Maybe, just like me 4 years ago, you have undiagnosed Pure O OCD and don't even realise it yet?Whichever the case, I hope that my book will resonate, educate, and illuminate. I hope you learn something new along the way. But most of all, I hope you get a kick out of my poems.
