previous | up | next

Anxiety disorders affect 1 of every 9 people in America, and many books have been written to help anxiety disorder sufferers. Conquering Panic and Anxiety Disorders is a unique book because it is based on the success stories of women and men of all ages, varying backgrounds and occupations. They have faced and overcome anxiety disorders, ranging from panic attacks, agoraphobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder to social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety. The theme of this book is “If they can do it, so can I.” The stories range from the most horrible loneliness and anxiety to the happiest, most exciting moments of triumph. Many of these anxiety disorders are highly curable, and this book provides testament to that fact. Pivotal moments define the contributors’ victory over fear, or caregivers’ excitement to see their loved ones winning a formidable battle. Besides offering hope and inspiration the stories include invaluable tips and techniques. The commentary by Paul Foxman, Ph.D., who reviews the disorder and recovery, explains the techniques used and how others can apply those techniques, and gives alternative techniques for similar situations. Conquering Panic and Anxiety Disorders fills the need of those who are seeking mentors and positive examples in the face of their silent distress.
