“Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood” by Jennifer Traig In this book, the author describes her experience with OCD and mental illness from early childhood until her freshman year at Brandeis College. She suffered from various forms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including anorexia and a rarer, “hyper-religious form” of OCD called scrupulosity, in which sanctified rituals such as hand washing and daily prayer are repeated in endless loops. The story is serious but often funny.
