panic disorder

I used this book to educate patients on panic disorder. Although it is not new the information is still valuable and written by a very experienced Psychiatrist who gave insight to years of practice with non-pharmalogical tips as well as how people reacted to different meds. I really liked this book.

Panic Disorder, Agorophobia? Gotta Read this Book

This is a very helpful book in understaniding panic disorder with or without agorophobia. This book has been so helpful to me. Just reading it gave me so much hope. If you are suffering form this, you've don't want to miss this book!

Panic Disorder Is Not Your Fault!!!!

I really felt comfort in this book! As a 27 year old female who has had panic attacks since the age of 5, this book is a godsend. Dr. Kernoodle is a Panic Disorder expert who knows what he is talking about. Finally a book that doesn't practically say it's all in our head, and we can control these horrible, debilitating attacks just by thinking different thoughts. His studies have concluded that it is not all in our head, but in our chemical makeup! It can be a disease just like heart disease. Just like a diabetic who needs insulin, Panic disorder can be treated with medications, and behavioral therapy. I like the fact that Dr. Kernoodle makes the sufferer feel it is not the anxiety victim's fault but a real medical problem, which is usually shamefully ignored by the medical profession, because it is a mental disorder. I wish Dr. Kernoodle lived in my area, so I could get the care I have been waiting for all my life.

Panic disorder explained--without the jargon

If you have panic disorder (or know someone who does), you must read this book! Without using complex medical jargon, Kernodle gives the most up-to-date explanation of the physiology of panic disorder. Drawing on numerous research studies, journal articles and his experiences in private practice, Kernodle explains current theories on the causes of panic disorder. The most helpful aspect of Kernodle's book is the clear discussion of various treatments for this complex disorder. Each medication is carefully outlined, from recommended dosages to possible side effects. Kernodle also includes a variety of case studies from his own practice. This book helped me understand a condition that has overwhelmed my life for many years. With the wealth of information I have learned just from this one book, I am confidently able to discuss my recovery plan with health professionals. Cathleen Henning http://panicdisorder.miningco.com
