In this autobiography of a woman with Tourette's and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Amy Wilensky discusses how her childhood and subsequent adult years were shaped by her irrational behaviors and tics. By learning about her own dysfunction, Amy embarks on a journey of self acceptance and discovery that helps her to lead a fulfilling life while coping with the compulsions that held her hostage for so long. Relying heavily on personal experiences rather than scientific research or psychiatric jargon, Amy's memoir is an easy introduction to the diagnosis and treatment of Tourette's and OCD.
