Product Description
Product Description
Surveys of stress-related illness suggest that more than 250,000 people in the UK are experiencing stress at a level that is making them ill. Stress can indeed lead to extensive psychological and physical suffering but one thing is clear: we do have choices. "Stress will always be with us, and we will continue to suffer - unless we choose to change," says Dr Cantopher. "The good news is that this is possible - stress-related illness is avoidable, and if you change, you will attain happiness." Topics covered include: causes of stress; manifestations of stress - physical illness; psychological conditions, such as anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, phobic states and depression; acute treatments; longer term management; how to avoid stress and its ill effects; and, lifestyle issues. We have a choice! This book offers not just facts, but a message of hope.

If everyone read this book it would save a lot of hurt, pain and unneccesary suffering. It is a real wake-up call to those tolerating abusive people and situations. It clearly explains the different types of personality and how to spot toxic people and toxic places and avoid them. Or if, like me, you have already been a victim of these types, got it helps you to understand how you managed to get involved with them in the first place and that it is not your fault. It really puts the light on.
This book has saved my life. Buy it now.
