Quick Reviews An anxiety buster

MEANT for people affected by anxiety, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks and generalised anxiety disorder, this book explains how to free yourself from such crippling effects to lead a happier and more fulfilled life. For most people anxiety seems to come from anywhere to hit like a sledgehammer – one minute you may be more or less happily leading your life and the next, you may find yourself terrified and distraught, struggling to breathe, perhaps feeling that you are dying or that someone will die because of your fault.

The authors advise seeking help from psychologists and counsellors but at the same time advise making use of the information provided in the book to help recover soon from sometimes devastating conditions.
