This book is a "must read" for the person who has just been diagnosed with panic attacks. It's written beautifully in a light, concise, factual and easy to read way. When a person is first diagnosed with an anxiety disorder such as panic disorder, concentration can often be a struggle, so this book is ideal - few words on each pages, and delightfully illustrated. Highly recommend.
