Description
A Cry for Help by S. Drake This is a raw and honest account of a young man's struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The author's experiences with the condition led to periods in custody and a life of crime, as he sought to cope with his fears of harming others. The book offers a unique insight into life in British jails and young offender institutions. The author's story is marked by a deep-seated fear of causing harm to elderly women, which became an all-consuming obsession. This fear drove him to take drastic measures, including prison, in an attempt to find safety and security. The book is a powerful exploration of the complexities of OCD and its impact on an individual's life. Written over a long period, the book provides a candid and unflinching look at the author's experiences. It is a thought-provoking and often disturbing read, which may elicit feelings of pity, disgust, or understanding.
