Take Control Of Your Worry: Managing Generalised Anxiety Disorder - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterised by almost constant worry about almost anything. An individual with "the worry illness" can never relax. They often sleep poorly and feel constantly on edge. At times the worry can be so severe it can lead to panic attacks. And all this worry is draining, so sufferers feel constantly exhausted. GAD affects 3� to 5 per cent of the population in any 12-month period. This makes it the most common anxiety disorder diagnosis in this country. Despite this, doctors and psychologists are not good at recognising it, and effective treatments have only recently been developed. Until now there has been no information about the nature and treatment of GAD readily available on bookshelves. Take Control of Your Worry is the first authoritative book on this common psychological disorder. This book contains illustrative case examples, and also a number of practical exercises similar to the work Dr Lisa Lampe asks her patients to do as part of their therapy. Psychological strategies have been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of GAD. This clear, easy-to-read book offers help and hope to anyone who suffers from this distressing problem.
