And weirdly, it worked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Katzenstein, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/contributors\/jason-adam-katzenstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regular cartoon contributor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New Yorker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, set out to document his struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder. While many people have a passing familiarity with OCD\u2014and a vague idea that it involves a lot of hand-washing\u2014the condition is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocdonline.com\/ocd-101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">often misunderstood<\/a>. Katzenstein compares it to having a record player in your head, stuck on a song that you never wanted to hear in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything Is An Emergency<\/span><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proves that comics can be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/mental-health-instagram\/\">powerful tool to explore things that are intense and upsetting<\/a>. They allow plenty of room for self-deprecation and whimsy\u2014even when the subject is something as heavy as mental illness. Case in point: Katzenstein\u2019s visual pun about what it felt like to \u201chit rock bottom.\u201d It shows him huddled on his bed, crying, while a goofy-faced rock shakes its butt in his face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-1-987x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-1-987x1024.png 987w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-1-289x300.png 289w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-1-768x797.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Throughout the course of the book, we watch Katzenstein\u2019s anxious journey unfold. He has trouble driving, obsessed with the idea that he may have run over pedestrians. He fixates on germs and contamination, overanalyzes every romantic relationship he\u2019s in, and suffers panic&nbsp; attacks on the subway. \u201cFor as long as I can remember,\u201d he writes, \u201cI\u2019ve dreaded some abstract terror that will destroy me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spoiler alert: It\u2019s not all doom and despair! <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything Is An Emergency <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">points toward a healthier future, with Katzenstein slowly groping his way toward normalcy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawing comics was a major component of his own redemption. He mentions <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brain-Lock-Yourself-Obsessive-Compulsive-Behavior-ebook\/dp\/B01CY3A8V6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brainlock<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a book that suggests OCD sufferers should purposefully expose themselves to something triggering\u2014and then delay doing anything about it. For instance, someone with fears of contamination might force themselves to touch a dirty surface, and then wait ten minutes to wash their hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those ten minutes can feel like an eternity. And so, as Katzenstein explains, it helps to \u201cdo something comfortable in that period of time, something that puts you at ease.\u201d For him, that meant drawing comics\u2014which ended up being about his own obsessive-compulsive thoughts. \u201cDrawing, and comics specifically, have always felt very meditative and centering for me. It really is my comfort zone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-1-1-881x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-1-1-881x1024.png 881w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-1-1-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-1-1-768x893.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-1-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>These early cartoons were the seeds of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything Is An Emergency<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But it was only until Katzenstein had fully immersed himself in therapy\u2014and started taking medication\u2014that he was able to tackle the book-length project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, he\u2019d worried that meds would put out his creative fire. Katzenstein couldn\u2019t shake the outdated cliche that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suffering<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is what\u2019s needed to create great art. \u201cI sincerely believed that it was the way we mythologize it: I needed to be sad to make work, and then make work about being sad,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, he found a renewed energy. Instead of submitting ten cartoons each week to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New Yorker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he would turn in twenty. Some of them addressed his own OCD\u2014like one in which an \u201coven is wondering if anybody remembered to turn it off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was just feeling better,\u201d Katzenstein says. \u201cThere was a big weight&#8230; I didn\u2019t fully appreciate how much it was holding me back from doing the things that I <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-1-960x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-1-960x1024.png 960w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-1-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-1-768x819.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>And so <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything Is An Emergency <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a real-time record of Katzenstein getting better, made as he was getting better. In some ways, the book \u201cis all just an ad for Zoloft,\u201d he jokes. He finds solace in group therapy, starts reading <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/How-Do-Nothing-Resisting-Attention-ebook\/dp\/B07FLNFRGK\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=jenny+odel&amp;qid=1593474001&amp;s=digital-text&amp;sr=1-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jenny Odell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and gets used to a world in which his mind is no longer a broken record player.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Katzenstein\u2019s book certainly isn\u2019t the first time that comics have been used to explore mental illness. One touchstone was Allie Brosh\u2019s 2009 graphic novel, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hyperbole-Half-Unfortunate-Situations-Mechanisms\/dp\/1451666179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyperbole And a Half<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cShe was really clear-eyed,\u201d he says. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t afraid to tell the truth about her depression, or explore the darker corners of these stories. It was that tightrope walk that she did that has always stuck with me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was also moved by the essays of Fran Lebowitz. \u201cWhenever I read them, I leave thinking: \u2018She\u2019s not okay, is she?\u2019 But I also laugh a lot,\u201d Katzenstein says. \u201cI love that tension. I thought: \u2018Oh, I can also do comedy about not being okay.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental illness is often discussed in hushed tones. It can be embarrassing, or at least uncomfortable, to open up about these experiences. For Katzenstein, comics were the perfect solution: a creative, occasionally silly tool to capture something that was dead serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was trying to be really true to how OCD actually feels,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes it does feel surreal or funny&#8230;.One thing that I hadn\u2019t seen much of in existing OCD literature and stories was the comedy of it all. The absurdity of it all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a must-read graphic novel, Jason Adam Katzenstein approaches mental illness with confidence, charm, and a
