Description

Foyles paperback of the year, Anxiety for Beginners offers a vivid insight into the often crippling impact of anxiety disorders, a condition that is frequently invisible, shrouded in shame and misunderstood. It serves as a guide for those who live with anxiety disorders and those who live with them by proxy.

Combining her own experiences (rendered in emotive detail) with extensive research with experts (neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists and fellow sufferers – including some familiar faces), Eleanor Morgan explores not just the roots of her own anxiety, but also investigates what might be contributing to so many of us suffering around the world.

Anxiety for Beginners is, at its heart, a book about acceptance, as Morgan discovers the ways in which people can live a life that is not just manageable but enjoyable, learning to accept anxiety as part of who we are rather than spending a life fighting and being ashamed of it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this review copy.

As someone who has an anxiety disorder, this book leapt out to me. I’m interested in anything that will keep my anxiety under wraps, or at least just bubbling on the surface. I can’t say that I always follow what these books tell me to do, but they are interesting to read nonetheless.

The author has been dealing with anxiety since she was a teenager. The book covers everything from how anxiety comes about, treatments, living with anxiety and how you can deal with it in the future. There are lots of facts and figures about it also. It’s interesting to read it from the perspective of someone who has lived and is still living with anxiety, rather than written from a professional. You can relate to Eleanor’s story and hopefully by doing this try and relate to your own experiences. It was easy to read and totally understandable. Five stars!
