Our guest was Randy Baird who
discusses Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He is the
author of "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - Alcoholism
and Disorder"
Randy Baird grew up in a supportive
family during the Fifties and Sixties – a time which
afforded him boundless opportunities. However, at a
young age, it was discovered that he suffered from what
today is known as OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder.
For him, this disorder manifested itself in the form of
constant and severe anxieties. Since little was known of
this disorder when he was young, Randy quickly learned
how to cope and cover up any signs of his problem.
After fifty years battling this
monster, along with an ongoing struggle with alcoholism,
he has decided to open up and tell of experiences that
only his immediate family knew of. Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder expresses his finding the
meaning of life in spite of the pain and suffering of
OCD and alcoholism.
