Details:
Do you suffer from panic or anxiety? Do you have a phobia that stops you from leading a normal life?
We all have worries, but when they begin to affect our everyday lives then we need to learn how to deal with them. With over 40 years' experience in clinical psychiatry, Isaac Marks provides a unique blend of inspiration and practical guidance for people who suffer from recurring anxieties, phobias, obsessions and compulsive rituals.
By drawing on case histories and experiences, many told in the sufferer's own words, Living with Fear takes a detailed look at the various kinds of symptoms most commonly encountered today, such as fear of heights, airplanes, germs, insects, crowds, as well as severe depression, grief and sexual anxiety. The book describes in simple layperson's terms the professional treatments, both physical and psychological, now available. It also has an available step-by-step self-help section for those wanting to treat themselves.
This book will help you to:
- Understand the difference between normal and abnormal anxieties
- Recognise when you need to seek professional help and when you can treat yourself
- Find self-help organisations and useful websites around the world.
- Understand the range of medication available and the recommended doses
Now, in this second edition, Living with Fear has won critical acclaim throughout the world and been translated into ten languages. It has provided informative and reassuring help to sufferers, their families and friends, and health-care professionals.
