Chronic stress is a hallmark of our era, and anxiety has become something of a cultural phenomenon of our time. One in six people in the world suffers from neurotic disorders at some point in their lives. Scott Stossel, knowing from his own experience all variations of phobias and depression, from the age of ten began to look for ways to overcome them, and then thought about this problem on a universal scale.

What is the cause of anxiety - in genes, features of brain activity, environment or traumatic events? How to get rid of neuroses, fears, insomnia and panic attacks? How do antidepressants and tranquilizers work and how effective are they? Is it finally possible to manage your anxiety and turn it to your advantage?

The book is based on mistakes and advances in biochemistry and neurobiology, genetics and psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and psychiatry. Most importantly, startling and shocking personal experience. This book is an intense and compelling story of man's struggle for himself.
