Mr. Barone I really appreciated reading your story and seeing the video also. My son is 32 and his regret is the time lost to OCD. His treatment has not been sucessful until recently. He had made some progress with behavior therapy specialist in OCD for 15 years an trainig at OCI. No medication has helped.
Thank God that dedicated people have ... Read Morebrought some help to the table now. In your lifetime you finally got some help and my son born in 1977 has lost so much to this illness, also. Technlogy today makes help available when it is not in your area where you live. Your story touched my heart.
