Wilmington author Jacqueline Gellens Watson, who is 91, has published a book about managing her obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) while growing up in a society that stigmatized mental disorders. Watson says her intention in publishing the book, titled The Habit, is to reassure others with OCD that attitudes about the condition have evolved and they are not alone.
