Anxiety 101 is intentionally structured to appeal both to patients who suffer from anxiety and medical professionals who treat the disorder.
This easily readable book includes current statistical information from reputable medical studies as well as real-life “case studies” gleamed from the author’s extensive experience as a traditional medical practitioner in a hospital setting and her current career as a holistic healthcare provider.
Readers from a variety of backgrounds will appreciate her extensive overview of the biological history of the anxiety problem our society is now facing.
For those who read Anxiety 101 in an attempt to learn more about their own disorder, Harry suggests that “arming yourself with the basic, physiological facts about how the anxiety response works is one critical step in the right direction” (102), and she provides such facts in simple terms using relatable examples.
