«The Man Who Couldn't Stop» is David Adam's popular science essay on OCD, published by Picador in paperback (290 pages, in English).
Journalist and writer David Adam turns his own experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder into the starting point for a journey through the human mind. In its pages he combines science, history and personal memoir to explain how intrusive thoughts work, when they can become obsessions and why millions of people live with compulsions. It includes documented extreme cases, such as a schoolgirl who ended up eating a wall of her house or two brothers buried by their accumulated possessions.

For readers interested in psychology, mental health and personal testimonies, especially those who want to understand OCD from an accessible and relatable perspective.
