 Accidents do not occur at random. People eighty-five years of age and older are twenty-two times likely to 
die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times that for 
Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at more

 One of the OCD gurus and neuropsychiatrists, Jeffrey Schwartz, has designed the Four 
 Steps program which employs meditation techniques with the aim of teaching sufferers to 
 manage their symptoms by themselves. “The goal is to learn to override false brain messages”, 
 explains Schwartz.

 part of their brain to resist the compulsions.’ David Smith is delighted with the results of 
 Schwartz’s treatment. ‘Now I can sign cheques without a problem’, he says brightly. ‘And I 
 don’t photocopy them either. OCD used to feel like a huge stigma, but I don’t feel handicapped 
 by it any more. You just deal with it.’
