Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to overcome Social Anxiety Disorder WITHOUT having to take medication, then read our how to guide by a real life counselor with experience in this field. How to Overcome Social Anxiety without Medication manifests an empathic understanding of what it is like to feel the pangs of social anxiety in a world that underestimates the power of anxiety, fear, and shyness. Others do not appreciate the intensity of your feelings because they do not feel them. To be assaulted by social anxiety can lead you to feel like disaster has struck. It is certainly debilitating. Everyone has the need for the esteem of others – it is one of the primary means of psychological survival in a world full of social expectations. Those of you who suffer from social anxiety are not alone. You are in an army of millions. Many of you folks have been prescribed traditional medications, but are confronted with the side effects of these. If you feel social anxiety, you do not need to conquer yet two more obstacles – possible addiction from tranquillizers and physical symptoms that accompany antidepressants. Many people have abandoned those in favor of the healthier alternative – organic remediation. Organic remedies are viable alternatives without unwanted side effects. This book will present you with a myriad of healthy organic solutions that are virtually free from nasty side effects. Counseling and psychotherapy is also a recommended treatment of choice for many of you. Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation is likewise very effective in helping you unite the forces of mind, spirit, and body. The holistic solution is your most powerful agent in self-transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a tremendous fear of public speaking, flying, or other social situations? Do you live in fear of having another panic attack? Do you depend on antidepressants, alcohol, or other medications to calm you down or help you sleep? If so, you're not alone. Tens of millions of Americans are affected by anxiety disorders and many more worldwide. I personally struggled for five years with extreme social anxiety and panic attacks, constantly battling my own scary and seemingly uncontrollable thoughts. I finally found the path to freedom from excessive worry, medication, and fear. I have overcome these problems and now live my life with a greater sense of inner peace and calmness. I'm not a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist of any sort. I am simply a normal guy whose life was once overrun with constant worry, fear, and depression. With great determination, research, and trial and error, I have returned to a healthy state of wholeness and optimism. My book details many of the problems I encountered daily, struggles that anyone suffering from anxiety can certainly relate to. I expand in detail upon my journey towards personal freedom, the valuable lessons I learned along the way, and how to apply them to your own life. I discuss why I had several severe relapses with my progress, and how you can avoid the same pitfalls. Some of the highlights of the book include: Education - Explanations of what anxiety is, and how it affects your body and mind. Strategy - How to formulate a plan to overcome your own fears and self-created limitations. Techniques - Discussions of the various physical and mental techniques I found most helpful in my recovery and still practice today, including meditation. Inspiration - I show you how to gain a sense of urgency and inspiration to change your life. Life Changes - Adjustments to your lifestyle to help encourage a peaceful mind and body. Are you ready to get your life back?

The editors have produced a volume that is both comprehensive and concise, meeting the needs of clinicians who prefer a single, user-friendly volume.

Outcome studies and expert opinion are presented in an accessible way to help the clinician know what treatment to use for which disorder, and how to tailor the treatment to the patient. Content is restricted to the major psychiatric conditions seen in clinical practice while leaving out less common conditions and those that have limited outcome research related to the disorder, resulting in a more streamlined and affordable text. Chapters are meticulously referenced and include dozens of tables, figures, and other illustrative features that enhance comprehension and recall. An authoritative resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses, and an outstanding reference for students in the mental health professions, Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders, Fifth Edition, will prove indispensable to clinicians seeking to provide excellent care while transitioning to a DSM-5® world.
