What If I Have Anxiety? Sarath Mantravadi

If you suffer from Anxiety, especially an anxiety disorder, it's hard to explain to others how debilitating it is. However, getting rid of all Anxiety is neither practical nor helpful, however desirable it might sound. Anxiety is caused in our Amygdala, the fear processing centre of our brain. Amygdala sometimes protects us by triggering a fight or flight reaction in response to danger much more quickly than we can think. Anxiety is unpleasant, but the amygdala's ability to react quickly has kept our ancestors alive and allowed them to pass on their genes to us. The problem is that Amygdala sometimes gets it wrong and triggers this reaction even when danger is not present, and that is what Anxiety or Anxiety disorder essentially is. The 165 pages of this book are designed to address such misfirings by using assessments, exercises, and inspired guidance that are backed by the latest research in neuroscience.
