Summary: Good, but misses a very important factor
Review: I am very familiar with the pain of anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia for I suffered from these maladies for several decades. During those years of suffering I underwent treatment by psychiatrists, psychologists, and hypnotherapists. I took various prescribed medications and read many books such as this, but experienced little relief. And then, after I began taking a daily supplement of chelated magnesium for another seemingly-unrelated ailment, for the first time I began experiencing significant diminishment of anxiety. There seemed to be no explanation for this wonderful change until the publication in 2003 of the book The Miracle of Magnesium by Dr. Carolyn Dean. In her wonderful book Dr. Dean reveals that a major cause of anxiety and panic attacks is deficiency of magnesium and that magnesium deficiency is quite common in the U.S. Therefore, I beg all sufferers of anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia to purchase and read The Miracle of Magnesium by Dr. Carolyn Dean and try the magnesium supplementation which she recommends. It may change your life as has changed mine.

Summary: Panic Free is excellent.
Review: I highly recommend "Panic Free" for anyone with anxiety. Dr. Freeman presents a unique perspective. This expert is different from other writers of books on panic and anxiety in that she has suffered from panic attacks herself. This provides "Panic Free" an insight into how to recover which is the best I have read. She is also very savvy about medications, and helps to clarify how to work with your doctor or psychiatrist, or how to work without one. The book is very informative, and gives clear steps to help get over the feeling of being trapped. Try this one, it actually works.

Summary: Unique Perspective
Review: So far, I've read the book three times, gleaning more from it each time. Panic Free is an easy read. It addresses a very complex subject simply, yet comprehensively, and I'm happy to report that Dr. Freeman isn't "selling" any particular treatment or "easy fix". The author's unique perspective as both a clinician AND a patient provides remarkable, yet practical, insights into dealing with panic/anxiety attacks, regardless of source. Since I'm reluctant to lend my copy of the book to others for fear it might disappear, I plan to purchase several more copies to give to select friends. This is a very valuable book.

Summary: good but nothing new
Review: this book is good but I felt as though I was just reading parts of other books I have already read on the subject. It was lacking in the personal touch some of the other books have had. I would have liked more info on the authors history in dealing with the problem. We merely are told that she did it without any personal accounts. Granted the info in the book can help you, though it is kind of light in content, but if I had to recommend just one book to a panic disorder sufferer, this may not be the one.

Summary: Great Find
Review: This is a really good book. From reading it I found out that a lot of my anxiety was caused by a vitamin depletion (anemia and vitamin B complex deficiency). I quickly found out how to "cure" my problem with supplements and I no longer have had any attacks since. Anyone with anxiety should read this book because the author is very thorough, she lists all the reasons that could be causing anxiety, from health related problems (as I mentioned) to real mental health problems, or a combination of both. This book also helped me in dealing with my panic when I'd feel like I was going to "die." I realised it wasn't all in my head.
