Man Who Couldn't Stop (Adam)

Author Bio
Dr. David Adam is a writer and editor at Nature, the world’s leading scientific journal. Before that he was a specialist correspondent for The Guardian for several years, writing on science, medicine, and the environment. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Leeds University in the UK. Named feature writer of the year by the Association of British Science Writers, Adam has reported from Antarctica, the Arctic, China, and the depths of the Amazon jungle.

In 2015 Adam published The Man Who Couldn't Stop: OCD and the True Story of a Life Lost in Thought. The book is more than an objective study of a brain disorder. Although not a memoir, the book draws from the author's own life experiences with OCD, the first symptoms of which he experienced as a college student in 1991. (Adapted from the publisher.)
