Mentally strong individuals cope with such stressors and lead a healthy life. However, chronic anxiety is a serious problem taking a physical and mental toll on the person by causing fatigue, sleep deprivation, and depression. Prolonged anxiety also leads to other severe conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, and makes the person succumb to substance abuse. Anxiety Disorders Sourcebook, First Edition provides an insight about the ways people encounter anxiety and its various types, including general anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder. It also provides information about chronic illnesses due to anxiety and ways to overcome it.

The book concludes with a glossary of related terms and a directory of mental health organizations for people with anxiety disorders and other mental health concerns.
