Age of Anxiety: How to Cope: How to Cope

by Amrita Tripathi, Kamna Chhibber

Overview

‘What does it mean when someone says they have Anxiety?’

‘I’m stressed and nervous all the time, do I have Anxiety?’

‘Will I ever get better?’

These are some of the questions we want to answer in this book. Is this the Age of Anxiety? Well, how could it not be – when so many millions of us feel that persistent combination of heart palpitations, impending doom, dread, even lack of control, as one of our contributors describes it. 

The question is, what can we do about it?

Through this book we will learn how to distinguish between anxiety as 'an attack of the nerves' or something that will come and go, and Anxiety as a disorder, which will need treatment, including possibly therapy or medication. The conversations are even more pertinent given the global Covid-19 pandemic, prolonged periods of social isolation and an increased focus on mental health and wellness. 

We learn from coping with Anxiety Disorders, sharing their journey to healing, explaining exactly what would have helped them along the way, as they seek to bust common myths and misconceptions.
