Janet Singer, the author of Overcoming OCD: A Journey to Recovery, is an advocate for OCD awareness, with the goal of spreading the word that OCD, no matter how severe, is treatable. In 2008 her son Dan suffered from OCD so debilitating he could not even eat. Today, thanks to exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the front line treatment for the disorder, he is a young man living his life to the fullest. Janet writes regularly for PsychCentral.com as well as MentalHelp.net, and has been published on many other web sites including Beyond OCD, Anxiety and Depression Association of America, and Mad in America. She has also been an invited speaker at OCD conferences. She started her own blog, ocdtalk (www.ocdtalk.wordpress.com) in 2010 and it currently reaches readers in 167 countries.
