Overcoming Fear and Panic Attacks (Second Edition): A Guide to Understanding, Managing, and Thriving Beyond Anxiety and Panic by Mashal Al Nawab MD,PhD

Although I am both a medically qualified and an academic doctor, I do not purport to write this book as a trained psychiatrist or psychologist, of which I am neither. I do, however, claim to be an experienced, consultant-level, medical professional who has, in the past, suffered from panic attacks related to a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which I developed many, many years ago now. Consequently, I am very familiar with the subject matter, have been in your shoes, and am able to view the problem from both ends of the spectrum. This second edition of the book has been revised and expanded, offering updated material and further insight into this profoundly draining condition. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with an enhanced understanding of panic attacks and anxiety, their causes, and their main features and give them an effective method to address them. It is designed to embed within you a mindset that enables you to dominate panic and reclaim the authority and self-control that panic and anxiety may have stripped away from you.
