Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Anxiety disorders--grouped into three main categories: panic, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety--are among the most common and pervasive mental health complaints. From the subtlest effect of sweaty palms during a work presentation to more the more severe symptom of reclusion, anxiety casts a wide net.
Medication, once considered the treatment of choice, is losing favor as more and more sufferers complain of unpleasant side effects and its temporary, quick-fix nature. Now, thanks to a flood of fresh neurobiology research and insights into the anatomy of our anxious brain, effective, practical strategies have emerged allowing us to manage day-to-day anxiety on our own.
Addressing physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, Wehrenberg, a leading mental health clinician, draws on basic brain science to highlight the top 10 anxiety-defeating tips. Everything from breathing techniques and mindful awareness to cognitive control and self-talk are included--all guaranteed to out-kick your anxious thoughts.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-223) and index.
A stress-management handbook profiles three main types of anxiety disorders while counseling patients for whom medication is not a best choice, in a resource that explains the science behind anxiety and shares practical strategies for overcoming stress-related difficulties.
