About this title

Synopsis

The National Institute of Mental  Health calls anxiety disorders the most common mental  health problem in America. They are also among the  most treatable. Yet tens of millions of people  struggle with hidden fears and restricted lives  because they have not received proper diagnosis and  treatment. Triumph Over Fear  combines Jerilyn Ross's firsthand account of  overcoming her own disabling phobia with inspiring case  histories of recovery from other forms of anxiety,  including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive  disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder; an  post-traumatic stress disorder. State-of-the-art  information is combined with powerful self-help  techniques, together with clear indications of when to seek  additional professional help and/or medication.  Also included is the latest research on anxiety  disorders in children, plus advice for dealing with  family members and  employers.
