My Age Of Anxiety by Scott Stossel

Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind

A candid blend of personal memoir, cultural and intellectual history, and scientific reporting that chronicles a lifelong, often crippling struggle with anxiety; it interweaves the author’s family history and treatment experiences with medications and therapy, profiles historical and literary figures who wrestled with similar fears, and traces scientific, philosophical, and social explanations for anxiety while examining stigma, causes, and approaches to coping and treatment.
