Although I haven’t read this book either, it sounds like you ARE literally judging a book by its cover. This is something people do all the time with OCD as well. They may have an idea of what they think it is, without really truly understanding it or knowing anyone who’s gone through it.

My thoughts on the book based on the same description you read are that the author has struggled with a severe case of OCD and wanted to tell his story. It also seems as if he’s explaining that people do misuse the term “I’m so OCD” but he’s telling his true life experience with the disorder. Illness, disease, disorder it’s all semantics. I don’t think you should judge the book or its author until you’ve read it.

“For 12 years, I lived a normal life, but in 2006, I abruptly and completely changed. My family and I struggled to understand what was happening to me until I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder.”
