What happens when your own mind becomes your greatest prison? For over two decades, Sakina Juzar Neemuchwala battled severe, treatment-resistant Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — an illness that consumed her time, energy, and milestones. Through more than ten hospital admissions and years of relentless rituals, she faced setbacks that would have broken many. Yet, even as OCD tried to control her life, it never controlled her mind. With extraordinary determination, she pursued higher education, completing not one but two Master’s degrees. In Touch Me Not: A Memoir of OCD, Hope and Resilience, she opens her heart to reveal not just the pain of living with OCD, but also the faith, family, and inner strength that carried her forward. Honest, raw, and deeply human, this memoir is both a survival story and a message of hope — that even in the darkest corridors of illness, courage can take root and light the way.
