Anxiety disorders cause untold suffering, and they affect one in four people. This book offers an eight–step practical program for fast and long–lasting relief of anxiety symptoms. The Anxiety Cure is written by a father and his two daughters, now in clinical practice together, who tell the inspiring story of how they overcame anxiety in their family. The authors share their step–by–step methods for dealing with the six main types of anxiety, including panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and obsessive–compulsive disorder. Grounded in the authors′ own treatment of thousands of clinically anxious people, The Anxiety Cure:

• Tells how to manage anxiety at home and at work
• Gives action plans for friends, family, and support people
• Provides easy relaxation techniques
• Outlines lifesaving strategies for anxious people with alcohol or drug problems
• Includes dramatic stories, as well as boxes, tools, and forms to chart your personal progress.
