It's everything from that irritating hum in the background of our existence to total panic. According to author and psychotherapist Robert Gerzon, it's really anxiety.
Anxiety is America's number one mental health problem.
This anxiety epidemic, spawned by the relentless pace and mounting strains of modern life, has gone largely unrecognized, undiagnosed and untreated. Now Robert Gerzon's groundbreaking book Finding Serenity in the Age of Anxiety , defies the cultural taboo against acknowledging anxiety and exposes the tragic toll it takes on our health, our relationships, our lives and on society as a whole. Published in 1997 in hardcover by Macmillan and now available in paperback from Bantam this best-selling book has helped thousands of readers find peace of mind. Reaching beyond psychology, Gerzon draws upon science, myth, spirituality and mindbody medicine to bring much-needed clarity to the classic human dilemma of anxiety. Toxic Anxiety , the dreaded and destructive overreaction, may result in worry, unrealistic fear, self-sabotage, relationship problems, addiction, illness, depression, panic and other symptoms.
