Book excerpt: Everyday for 14 years Gerry Radano sat alone on her living room couch riveted in fear and suffering repeated panic attacks. Everyday, Gerry sprayed an entire can of Lysol on everything she touched, changed her clothes six to eight times a day, and washed her hands over 200 times to avoid the germs that she was convinced were contaminating her. Everyday for 14 years, Gerry woke up with the same prayer, "Please God, let me die today." Gerry suffered with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a neurological brain disease that affects 1 in 40 people, or nearly seven million Americans. OCD may have taken her mind but it did not take her spirit. Contaminated describes the extraordinary journey Radano made to take back her life and triumph over a disease her doctors had pronounced incurable
