4 stars
I requested this book mainly because I increasingly deal with anxiety issues more and more as I age, and it is not just me, I feel as if many of my female friends are as well. The author offers a very insightful look at her own struggles with severe anxiety and how she has dealt with it, whether successfully or not, and how it has affected her life and relationships. She is forthright about her symptoms, and her lengthy journey through the treatment available for those with anxiety disorders. This book is best when the author is discussing her own experience, however, her science discussions and overviews of psychiatric experiments become repetitive and somewhat dull. Overall, though, this is worth reading just to get a first-hand, honest account of anxiety and panic attacks. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
