Description
Anxiety can be a debilitating and exhausting experience, affecting millions of people in the UK. General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Acute Stress Disorder are just a few examples of anxiety disorders that can severely impact daily life. Symptoms of anxiety range from mental and emotional distress, such as depression and difficulty concentrating, to physical symptoms like excessive thirst, headaches, and pins and needles. The cycle of anxiety can be self-reinforcing, with individuals trying to cope with their worries while also worrying about being anxious all the time. This book provides a straightforward guide to understanding and managing anxiety, drawing on psychotherapy, medication, and self-help approaches. By presenting the facts in an accessible way, it aims to help readers find trustworthy guidance and support for overcoming anxiety.
