Anxiety Insights: What Gets to Us and What Gets Us Through - Paperback

by Nicole Lentini (Contribution by), Lori Maney Lentini (Author)

There are forty million people in the United States diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and millions more hiding in the shadows and suffering alone for fear of the stigma associated with having a mental illness. Anxiety Insights offers a better understanding of anxiety issues, connection with others who suffer, coping strategies, and most of all, hope. It is the story of a mother's journey as she struggles to understand and help her daughter manage severe anxiety and depression (told both from her perspective and her daughter's), interwoven into a well-crafted exploration into the complexities of living with stress, fear, self-doubt, and anxiety. Through honest and unapologetic accounts of debilitating struggle and everyday triumphs, you will also hear from family and friends dealing with anxiety born out of trauma, sexual abuse, bullying, post-traumatic stress, and plain-old genetics. Each mini memoir is connected through the overarching theme of insight and hope, brought together to shine a light on recovery, survival, and achieving life-long dreams."A valuable resource for anyone who deals with anxiety or loves someone who does."
