The Anxiety Disease: New Hope for the Millions Who Suffer from Anxiety
Anxiety is not always psychological but rather a disease that  can now be controlled. The symptoms are devastating: sudden unprovoked  attacks of anxiety-accompanied by skipping and racing of the heart,  shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizzy spells. Even worse is the  fear that you are losing your mind. But here's the good news. The more  unexpected and unprovoked the attacks or the symptoms, the more likely  that the victim is suffering from a biologically beset disease. What's  more, medical science can now overcome this disease in virtually all  cases through a combination of drugs and behavior therapy. Dr. David V.  Sheenan, formerly of the Havard Medical School, is now the Director of  Research of the College of Medicine at the University of South Florida  in Tampa. He draws upon recent research and his own pioneering  breakthroughs in the treatment of anxiety to present in this book:  -Quizzes that will help you determine whether your anxiety is caused by  normal stress or is the result of a genetically influenced physical  disorder. Seven progressive stages of the disease-and the four steps  necessary for recovery. Detailed case histories of former anxiety  victims who are now leading full and productive lives. Reassurance and  guidance to family members and friends who want to help, but don't know  how. This book offers new hope to millions of men and women across the  country.
