Product Description
Product Description
There are many forms of anxiety disorder, including General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Attacks, Phobias (including social anxiety), Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Post–Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Acute Stress Disorder. Even in their most mild forms, these disorders can be troubling and exhausting – at worst they can severely disable a person’s ability to function in day–to–day life. Severe anxiety and phobic disorders affect 18% of the UK population. (nopanic.org.uk)
Symptoms of anxiety range from the mental and emotional – depression, having difficulty concentrating, losing patience easily – to the physical – excessive thirst, headaches, pins and needles, and more (www.bbc.co.uk) Often the problem is self–feeding – people try to keep things under control whilst simultaneously worrying about being anxious all the time, and the cycle goes on. Psychotherapy, medication and self help are the key treatments for anxiety – however, as many people either don’t have access to, or choose not to take, professional treatment, self help is the key for a majority of sufferers. A Dummies book on the subject will present the facts without the jargon, and help people find the trustworthy guidance they need.

Overcoming Anxiety for Dummies (UK),
By
This review is from: Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies, UK Edition (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to managing anxiety. In the style of the 'Dummies' series, it sets out basic information in a conversational style for those of us who don't know it all, but want to know more! I particularly found the '10 Top Tips' lists for managing and understanding worries great. This is for all of you who are looking for some useful information, but don't want to wade through a book of impossible technical stuff. It reads as though it is based on tried and tested techniques and academic ideas, but it's readable!! There is a related Workbook (of exercises which can help) in America, I'm looking for the UK one.

Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies, UK Edition
I can highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from anxiety. I only wish that I had discovered it long ago. I have read it from cover to cover and been very impressed by the sense that it makes. I can hardly believe the difference that it has made to my handling of problems. I have gained a new confidence and whereas before I felt ashamed of my fears, I now realise that so many thousands of other people feel the same and it is just a question of knowing the right way to handle them.

Clearly explains anxiety and methods for reducing it,
By
This review is from: Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies, UK Edition (Paperback)
A very clear guide to coping with severe anxiety. Has really helped me understand why I feel it and helped show me methods to control it.
The only improvement I would suggest is that some of the authors own experiences are shared and these are quite lame examples. The fictional examples seem far more relevant.
