The man who couldn't stop: OCD and the true story of a life lost in thought

Trama

At what point does a harmless idea, a snowflake in a clear summer sky, become a blinding blizzard of unwanted thoughts? David Adam—an editor at Nature and an accomplished science writer—has suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder for twenty years, and The Man Who Couldn’t Stop is his unflinchingly honest attempt to understand the condition and his experiences.
