Rabbit's actions might seem a bit strange at first, but there's a reason behind them... Rabbit has something called "OCD."
Dear Rabbit: Facing OCD One Hop at a Time
is a children's book that introduces young readers to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It sheds light on the confusion of living with OCD and the difficulty of seeking help from those who might not fully understand it.
The book explains how OCD can manifest in various ways, such as:
- Arranging
- Collecting
- Checking
- Cleaning
- Rumination
Most importantly, it emphasizes the value of exposure and response prevention (ERP), a leading treatment for OCD that empowers individuals to confront their compulsions and break free from the obsession-compulsion cycle. While OCD can seem overwhelming, the right knowledge and tools can help individuals thrive and reclaim their joy.
As someone diagnosed with OCD,
