I had my very first big panic attack recently and then was terrified of having another one! I kept thinking about it and kept feeling "panicky"...on trains, in waiting rooms, and even stores. I met with a therapist who put me on medication but bought this book to "take control of anxiety attacks". I'm not a pill person and want to get off them quickly. Honestly, I couldn't relate to the very first few sections of the book. The second parts are more beneficial. Overall, a good buy if you want to learn how anxiety is and how it affects your body etc. Plus, there are great tips on how to control yourself. Like I said, everyone's different but overall it seems that most people found this book helpful. It's worth the thirteen bucks. :)

I have panic disorder which has caused heart anxiety. The very very first pages of this book are SCARY. They talk about real and fatal physical problems that can cause symptoms like Panic Disorder before they even talk about Panic Disorder.
They do nothing to reassure readers that if they have had a diagnoses of Panic Disorder that the symptoms truly are just nervous symptoms. In fact, this book even goes so far as to talk about the amount of people that have had severe heart problems that are misdiagnosed with Panic Disorder! Now why in the world would you do that to a group of people that are well known for having a health anxiety?
If you are agoraphobic and do not have health anxiety issues then maybe this book might be okay but then again,I suspect that if you didn't have health anxiety before you read it, that you may have health anxiety by the time you reach the end of chapter one.
I wish I had never bought it!

I have been dealing with anxiety and panic on and off for the past 7 years or so. My undertsanding is that this is partly because of my genetic makeup and also some pretty nasty hormonal changes which is the root of the casue. During the past 7 years I have done a lot of research and reading in relation to anxitey and panic. i have to say that this book, is the very first of many I have read that has been tremendous help and has put me on a path to recovery. You need to use this book in conjunction with a good doctor who you trust and good therapist who you trust who specialises in anxiety disorders, so you can have someone check up on your progress. I cant stress enough how important it is to find a good doctor/therapist and stick with them, so that they can follow your progress and know your history.
This book is an excellent tool in explaining anxiety and if you practice the techniques, importantly relaxation and your breathing, you will find yourself with the power over panic back in your hands. All you need to do is desensitise your brain.

My mother has been suffering from anxiety attacks for several months and I got her this book thinking it would help her understand things better -- unfortunately, I think the way the book goes into the details of having an anxiety attack was too much for her and she started having more of them. She wasn't able to go beyond a certain point in the book and I told her not to bother.
My mother will be 80 in January, and these attacks scare her quite a bit (plus, she lives alone). I wouldn't argue the benefit the book may have had for other people, but I certainly think it's not going to be a "one size fits all" and much will have to do with the reader's personal situation and state of mind. Caution should probably be followed re: puchasing this book in situations involving the elderly and an already "fragile" mindset.
