Understanding anxiety and managing it without drugs

Prolonged anxiety makes us all susceptible to a wide range of mental disorders and physical illness. Joe Griffin shows how ill health causes anxiety in normal people but that the reverse is also true.

Panic attacks, social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), phobias, psychosexual problems, obsessional compulsive disorders (OCD) and anxiety related to work, money, health, surgery, childbirth, terror threats and death are a problem for many.

Prolonged anxiety makes us all susceptible to a wide range of mental disorders and physical illness. Joe Griffin shows how ill health causes anxiety in normal people but that the reverse is also true (for example, when raised anxiety levels suppress the immune system).

It is therefore essential that health and welfare professionals have the knowledge and skills to reduce anxiety in people quickly – so they can offer more effective treatment and care.
