SYNOPSIS: Based on her wide experience of treating nervously ill patients, Dr. Weekes has developed a remarkable four-point program that has already helped millions of nervous sufferers to relax and enjoy life again. In this important new book, Dr. Weekes shows you how to win your battle with the "adrenalin-releasing" nerves once and for all. You will learn how to spot the four common types of nervous fatigue and reverse the energy-eroding pattern of tension and anxiety that leads to nervous illness. You'll also get Dr. Weekes's straightforward, encouraging and effective advice on overcoming physical symptoms; coping with phobias, obsessions, setbacks; and breaking the vicious cycle of fear that feeds on itself. Ultimately, she shows you how understanding nervous fatigue can become the first giant step toward recovery.
