The most comprehensive book for treating anxiety
The wisdom in this book is simple. Fortunately, it was one of the first I came across when my problems with anxiety began. Using this book as a guide, I have helped myself begin to recover from agoraphobia by taking care of basic physical needs that required change, such as nutrition and exercise, and through exposure work. I believe that recovery does involve healing many of our basic, but neglected, needs.While medication appears to work for some people, the change in consciousness that occurs if you really work through the agoraphobia and your fears, while at the same time practicing ways to manage the panic,cannot be shaken by relapses or regressions where medication invites the possbility of continuing ups and downs. I don't blame people for seeking it, but I don't think it's necessary. This book was the only one I found that had a solid, well-rounded treatment plan for anxiety. Thank you Dr. McCullough!

Managing Your Anxiety
This book's thorough and philosophical explanation of the many factors involved in panic and phobia disorders gave me a much deeper understanding of the roots of my own anxiety. The excersizes in self-care program were an essential tool in helping me overcome a phobia I had for many years. It is an excellent resource for anyone who is struggling with any form of anxiety, panic, or phobia disorder.

A book for everyone suffering from anxiety
I have been troubled by anxiety for many years and have not been too optimistic about finding a book that would deal with my particular problem. Managing Your Anxiety by Christopher J. McCullough and Robert Woods Mann comes very close to dealing with it. Although initially intended for people with Agoraphobia (fear of open places), the book gives a detailed account of how to manage anxiety using journals, lists, and other methods of making you realize what goes into your anxiety. I like in particular its specificity and the non-technical way in which it explains the roots of anxiety and its effects and, especially, the ways in which it can be coped with. I have used it with continuing improvement in my condition and I can recommend it to anyone who suffers from anxiety.
