So helpful - By: hiljean, 23 Sep 2008 
I picked up this book second-handin a charity shop last week & was a bit sceptical because this is obviously a book which was written many years ago. However as soon as I started reading it, like other reviewers here, I found immediate comfort & an accurate description of my symptoms & the causes of the physical sensations. My own GP has been totally unhelpful & I feel like taking a copy of this book into his surgery & urging him to recommend it to others.
Within a few chapters I was already able to face up to my irrational fears & start dealing with them & am astounded at how quickly I have started to recover. This book is immensely helpful & reassuring & I am rapidly returning to the strong, confident, cheerful person I was before I started suffering from anxiety attacks. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
A real must buy - By: Mr. Dm Mckeown, 04 Aug 2008 I first suffered anxiety & depressionin my early twenties but didn't discover this book until I was almost 30. Like many other reviewers here it helped to change my life & I cried tears of relief like a few others when I first read it; it was amazing to me that millions of others had felt this way too. The advice here is wonderful & I still return to it when feeling a little shaky.
Brilliant - By: Mr. J. Mears, 17 Jul 2008 Brilliant , & so simple. If your like me & have tried all sorts of self help " formulas " , forget them all & read this book.
I was smiling from page one with comfort .
In a word - paradox!!!
The book is easy to read & understand & is well worth it. Ive read it twice allready , & im currently putting it into practice every day.
Its given me a new form of confidece & understanding , rather than the vicious circle ive beenin for 3 years.
Thank god I found it.
An amazing book - By: H. Tucker, 07 Jul 2008 I read this book about 18 months ago when I was suffering from anxiety & depression & it helped me 110%. I picked it up by chance when I was at my most scared & bewildered & it acted as a light for mein such a dark timein my life. Most importantly it explained what was happening to me & why I was feeling it. It helped me to understand more than any other source had what was going on & how I could learn to conquer my fear & move on with my life. Please do read this - it could be the one thing that helps to turn the anxiety around as it did for me. I recommend this to anyone who is feeling lost & scared due to their illness - it makes you understand that fear is the biggest obstacle & it can be overcome.
She must be such a lovely person ... - By: Bookworm, 17 Jun 2008 This book literally saved my life when I was suffering from very bad anxiety & depression; I was suicidal. Medication didn't work & I thought I was going mad - for example, how can anyone be afraid of going to the supermarket?? This book was recommended to me by a customer of the library where I was working at the time & as soon as I began to read it I felt comforted. I think that is the thing about Dr Weekes that I would stress the most - she comforts you, she is sympathetic & kind & with that as a base you feel you may be able to try out some of what she is saying. And when you do you will find that it works. Absolutely. 100%. You will feel better - buy the book.
