This book just works..., May 22 2003
This review is from: Peace From Nervous Suffering (Paperback)
I ordered this book on a whim. I've ordered several different books about anxiety and agoraphobia and they didn't seem to make sense to me. As a person who is sometimes housebound and prone to severe anxiety I thought I would give this book a try, plus it is only 7 dollars. I can say I would have paid 700 dollars for this book. The advice is SIMPLE and easy to understand. It is an older book so it doesn't focus on buzzwords or the latest new medication. What it does do is explain how you can help yourself. Much better than any of the other books out there now and cost's a whole lot less. Be aware though that this book is older and as such doesn't use much of the same jargon doctors today use. For example it refers to Nervous Illness, or giddiness instead of buzzwords or anachronims like GAD, SAD, or depersonalization. Other than that it is a sound choice for someone suffering from an anxiety related illness.

Still an absolute BLESSING for anxiety sufferers!, July 23 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Peace From Nervous Suffering (Paperback)
Dr Claire Weekes takes some of the terror out of anxiety disorders with her calm presentation of basic, understandable facts. Her experience in working with a wide variety of clients, and her dedication to seeing anxiety as an emotional disorder, rather than simple mental illness, gives much hope to anyone seeking to beat the many facets of anxiety - be it panic disorder, social anxiety, or agoraphobia. She has NO doubt it can be beaten and her warm assurances of this come through loud and clear on the page. Although there are many newer books on anxiety out there (Reid Wilson's Don't Panic is also WONDERFUL), all of Dr Weekes' books are a true blessing to anyone looking to find their way out of this disorder. Don't be put off by the fact that these are older books; the information inside is timeless. She was truly ahead of her time and I say BLESS YOU, Dr Weekes!

Everything you need to know, Jun 28 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Peace From Nervous Suffering (Paperback)
This book contains all you need to know to help yourself recover from panic and anxiety attacks - and there is so much one can do for one self - this book clearly explains what and how. I recommend this book and would also like to recommend homeopathy as a means to a cure (to be clear, this book is not related to homeopathy).
