Coping With Anxiety

Anxiety disorders, the most common psychiatric illness in the United States, exhibit themselves in a wide variety of ways. They range in severity from mild to incapacitating. In many cases, affected individuals seek treatment for physical symptoms such as sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness and chest pain. Others turn to drugs to relieve the anxiety. This book presents an integrated treatment that combines cognitive-behaviour therapy and pharmacotherapy to provide a flexible approach that can be geared to any patient.
