Everything Is an Emergency: An OCD Story in Words & Pictures

$ 24.99

A New Yorker cartoonist illustrates his lifelong struggle with OCD in cartoon vignettes frank and funny. Jason Adam Katzenstein is just trying to live his life, but he keeps getting sidetracked by his over-active, anxious brain. Mundane events like shaking hands or sharing a drink snowball into absolute catastrophes. Jason has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness that compels him to perform rituals in order to protect himself from dangers that don’t really exist. At his lowest, Jason finally decides to do the things he’s always been told to do to get better: exposure therapy and medication. Everything is an Emergency is a comic about all the self-destructive stories someone tells himself, over and over, until they start to seem true. In images surreal, witty, and confessional, Jason shows us that OCD can be funny, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life.
