This book is written in an easy to understand, conversational style that immediately engaged me. I enjoyed the organization of this book--from understanding different types of disorders to the tools people can use to help them deal with their anxiety and even depression.
Each section gave examples and science-based/medical-based research and although not comprehensive (that's what years of college/practice accomplish), it helped me understand the different types of anxiety, the physical sensations anxiety can bring, the emotional states people may experience, and the differences among the medications prescribed.
I enjoyed reading about the alternative treatments such as mental exercises, physical exercises (like breathing and stretching exercises), and psychotherapies. The book includes a section about what tools help for which level of anxiety, grounding exercises, and even aromatherapy recipes and tips.
This book gives readers a good first look/understanding of mental health and a base to go from to seek more information.
