Very good read so far! First off, I have severe anxiety, along with depression, and have been struggling for over a decade with them. Because of this I know a fair bit about anxiety itself, so some of the information laid out in the excerpt was not new to me. However, there were some things that were, which pleasantly surprised me! Some symptoms I never knew about, like "claw hand," made me realize that anxiety presents itself in more ways than stereotypical symptoms and my own personal symptoms. I would totally give this excerpt to my parents (or any other person that doesn't quite understand the complexities of anxiety); it's easy to read and understand, along with including real life scenarios that any one can relate to! Looking forward to the release of the whole book, and maybe reaching some relief with my own anxiety.
