Anxiety disorders, including panic syndrome, agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety, are the most common mental disorders. Fortunately, they are also among the most treatable disorders This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has helped immensely with my anxiety disorder. When it first hit me I had no idea what was happening. If I did not acquire the book and follow the steps outlined in it, I would be incapacitated by now. I confronted the fear--it was tough--but succeeded and am so much better off because of it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who suffers from any kind of anxiety disorder.

Very helpful. Clearly written, good practical advice. Relates the importance of facing anxiety. The authors explain that denying or trying to minimize fears actually make them worse. The trick is to explore what is behind the anxiety and allow yourself to experience the fear. This can be done with small managable steps. The fear then loses its power over you. Also contained are helps and guidelines for support people. This book lives up to its name and is recommended.

An important resource for many families.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The Anxiety Cure is a welcome resource to my family's library. I read this book much like I approach the World Wide Web. Rather than addressing the text "vertically" (from page 1 to 2, and so on) as I would with most books, I read The Anxiety Cure more "horizontally." By this I mean that I first went to the index and read about the subjects that concerned me most. Then, when at those pages I read onward to get additional information and was reminded of other issues/topics that interested me. I then returned to the index to see where those topics were elucidated, and repeated the process. It is rare that I find a useful book with information so logically presented and so thoroughly indexed. The Anxiety Cure is a resource that I will continue to refer to again and again.
An important book for people who suffer from fear of flying.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As someone who was arrested amd jailed and deported from Japan due to a fear of flying phobia that the Japanese government refused or could not comprehend, I find DuPont's book an important addition to helping the public understand and deal with such phobias. I still don't like to fly, even after my 1983 accident, but DuPont's book helped me better understand my condition. A very important book. I hope it finds a Japanese publisher, too.
