Description
Anxiety: A Very Short Introduction by Daniel Freeman and Jason Freeman provides an accessible explanation of what anxiety is, why it's a normal part of our emotional life, and the key factors that cause it. Drawing on scientific research from psychology, neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, and clinical trials, this book offers insights into the six major anxiety disorders, including phobias, panic disorder and agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The authors explore the symptoms, prevalence, and causes of each disorder in detail, as well as the treatments available for dealing with anxiety problems. Two interviews conducted specifically for the book provide a fascinating illustration of the discussion, shedding light on what's happening in our brain when we feel fear. This introduction to anxiety is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers pocket-sized books that combine facts, analysis, and enthusiasm to make interesting topics highly readable.
