Prescription medications have their uses and their drawbacks, and to understand why this is the case, we have to know what they do to our mind and body.

Medications covered include:-

The Cause of Anxiety Disorders... As a Child



Research shows that over 50% of anxiety problems start before the age of fourteen and many people with long-term anxiety disorders, when asked what they remember most about the start of their problem, reply "Being really nervous for a long time".

If we go through a period in life where we are constantly 'put down', 'picked on' or made to feel threatened in any way it's not surprising that anxiety (our inner self-protection instinct) will ramp up and we'll become more nervous – constantly wary and alert, always on the look out for danger in order to protect ourself.

However, threatening situations not only scare us, they also make us feel bad (upset, hurt, insecure, weak, afraid, small, inadequate, sad, angry, confused... a whole myriad of negative feelings). And if we feel bad often enough, for long enough, we can start to believe that we feel this way because there is something inherently 'bad' or 'wrong' or 'not good enough' about us. Over time, self confidence crumbles.

This book highlights a critical component in the development of these problems that hasn't really been given the attention it deserves: the way we feel about ourself deep down and how this becomes inextricably linked to being scared.

In doing so, it provides a unique insight into the underlying cause of many people's anxiety disorder today.
