2020 Anecdote #5

 I suffered from OCD for a while before getting psychiatric help. Amazing results from cognitive behavioral therapy. Two books that helped greatly: (1) Can Christianity Cure Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? A Psychiatrist Explores the Role of Faith in Treatment, by Dr. Ian Osborn. (I was encouraged to learn that Martin Luther, among other major Christian figures, had OCD and found faith therapeutic). And (2) Brain Lock by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz. I thank God for my healing. I am grateful to psychiatry and modern medicine, but above all I am grateful to Jesus my ultimate healer. ‘He bore our sicknesses and carried our pains’ (Isaiah 53:4). If you are being suffocated by obsessive thoughts, get help!”
