Synopsis

Everyone is affected by feelings of anxiety and panic at some time, and learning how to cope with stressful situations is the key to maintaining control over our lives. By explaining brain functions on a chemical level, this practical handbook provides guidance on overcoming specific phobias, as well as coping with and tackling general anxiety issues. Separate sections on signs and symptoms, cognitive behavior therapy, and resources make it easy to individualize formal treatment and lifestyle changes. Case studies of real people overcoming their disorders, tips for managing anxiety in everyday situations, interactive exercises, and self-assessment questionnaires aid understanding and diagnosis of the many faces of anxiety.
