A practical handbook that reveals the role of the brain in anxiety disorders and gives guidelines for effective treatment with a range of therapy options. What we know about the workings of the human brain has increased immeasurably in recent times. We now know exactly which parts of the brain react when we feel panicked, depressed, or overwhelmed emotionally. It is this new science which can help us to understand how our brain generates the feelings we experience and, in turn, how we can control those feelings. Everyone is affected by feelings of anxiety and panic at some time. By explaining which parts of the brain are affected and how these reactions can be controlled, this book provides practical guidance on conquering specific phobias as well as help for general anxiety issues. Detailed advice on available drugs and cognitive therapy exercises will also enable sufferers to find the therapy that best suits their individual needs.
