Anxious Brain. How to Calm Thoughts, Heal the Mind, and Regain Control Over Your Life

Have you spent your whole life thinking of yourself as a slacker, an egoist, a pessimist, or a hysteric, blaming your failures on a lack of willpower and the desire to 'be normal'?

Dr. Joseph Annibali, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with twenty years of experience, uses real examples to show that these are not character traits, but symptoms of various brain function disorders: ADHD, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, affective or bipolar disorder, the consequences of emotional trauma. What you truly need is to tame your anxious brain, bringing it back from chaos to a state of balance and calm. By reading this book, you will learn how you can improve your condition on your own, and how a doctor can help you. You will begin to better understand yourself and be more tolerant of those people whose behavior does not fit the norm.
