The authors begin with an introduction to healthy lifestyle choices. Then they discuss a variety of conditions that can aggravate anxiety-related problems.

Phobias: Fighting the Fear
Helen Saul

Drawing on vivid examples from history, literature, and personal testimonies, PHOBIAS is the first book to describe case histories, assess the theories ancient and contemporary, and seek to answer all the questions about one of mankind's oldest medical mysteries.
