Everything Is an Emergency: An OCD Story in Words & Pictures

A raw and deeply personal graphic memoir, Everything Is an Emergency chronicles cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein’s lifelong struggle with OCD through his own words and art. Published by HarperCollins in 2020, this single-issue book transforms intrusive thoughts and compulsive rituals into vivid, often darkly funny cartoon panels. It stands as a vital, honest account of living with mental illness, offering readers both a window into the condition and a testament to the power of comics as a medium for self-examination.
