Lily Bailey is a model writer and mental health campaigner. As a child and teenager Lily suffered from severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She kept her illness private until the widespread misunderstanding of the disorder spurred her into action. She began campaigning for better awareness and understanding of OCD and has tried to stop companies making products that trivialise the illness. Her first book BECAUSE WE ARE BAD (Canbury Press 2016) chronicles her personal experience of OCD as a child and a young woman. Her second book WHEN I SEE BLUE (Orion 2022) is aimed at children and follows a 12-year-old boy who has OCD.
