This week's topic is: OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Dear Colleagues,
For starters, I recommend that you see the new movie
"As Good As It Gets" with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.
The movie, in addition to being a great laugh, features a
man with OCD, who benefits from treatment.
OCD will also be featured in next week's newsletter.
Please share your favorite OCD Web resources by forwarding
them to me. There is a wealth of information about this
important topic and we want to include all of the top quality
OCD sites in our research for next week.
Have a nice weekend. The sun is shining in Seattle!
Regards,
Jack
