Booklist Review
This slender volume offers a succinct discussion of mental disorders related to anxiety. After reassuring readers that anxiety is normal and sometimes even beneficial, Levin describes conditions that arise when it becomes overwhelming: panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, as well as social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and agoraphobia. A vivid description of the causes and symptoms of panic attacks is followed up with a chapter suggesting ways to deal with these troubling events. Added information appears in sidebars, presenting Myths and Facts about anxiety and panic disorders and Ten Great Questions to Ask Your Therapist. The book concludes with a glossary, a list of recommended reading, and an annotated list of organizations and hotlines that provide information and assistance to those suffering from anxiety-related illnesses. Color photos brighten this clearly-written presentation from the Teen Mental Health series.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2008 Booklist
