More Description"Bombarded by a constant media feed about global terrorism, war, and rising unemployment rates, and by a mind-numbing array of ads that urge us to ""ask our doctor"" about the newest anti-anxiety medication, it feels as if this country is having a collective anxiety attack. In fact, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in America. POE'S HEART AND THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER tackles this disorder head-on, with a fresh perspective and a straightforward approach to understanding our anxiety before it paralyzes us. Bestselling author and neuropsychiatrist Richard Restak, M.D. demystifies this hot topic in clear, accessible language. His message is vital and empowering: Anxiety is not a mental illness that must require medication, but often a normal, biological response to stress. With the help of this fascinating and practical book, we can all learn how to manage the daily anxieties that plague our lives and discover new ways to harness the positive effects of this often misunderstood condition."
