Publisher's Synopsis
Ever wonder why so many people do everything they can to get well but still have problems with anxiety? In The Surprising Causes of Anxiety & Panic, Dr. Victoria Bentley answers this question by explaining why people who read self-help books, take medication, and do psychotherapy still continue to suffer from debilitating anxiety symptoms. Dr. Victoria spells out how anxiety is caused by a combination factors that must be understood and addressed before the symptoms will go away. She brings together many disciplines-genetics, childhood development, family systems, pharmacology, trauma research, and situational stress examples-to describe how unresolved and sometimes surprising issues contribute to on-going anxiety problems. The promise of this book is complete recovery-not just symptom reduction but how to put an end to anxiety and panic symptoms once and for all.
