I agree completely.Guda LM wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 05:09 I believe the as the authors rightly named the book, it is supposed to be a general guide to dealing with anxiety and stress. For those with mild anxiety, I believe some of the remedies if followed well can be a solution. However, for those with severe anxiety, the book is a starting point and ocassional references where applicable, not to give a cure, but some direction and pointers.
Generally for, everyone else, during those stressful days, the book can go a long way in calming those nerves. It serves different PURPOSES as it is a guide and not a specific prescription. But as always advised, it is always good to seek professional advice when the symptoms persist.
The remedies given are good in general, for mild cases .
In severe cases or cases where individuals have special requirements, then the pointers are good as an adjunct to specific medical advice.

I do think, though, that much of the information about neurotransmitters would be difficult to understand without some background in science or psychology. My biggest question after reading the book is how to know if your levels of any of the many things discussed is off. Symptoms were given, but many of the symptoms are general and could be caused by a wide variety of issues. I think in the case of supplements, a professional would need to be consulted.

However for those readers who suffer with much deeper anxieties and stressors, may also benefit from this book, but should also check out more professional help and resources as an additional way to getting them to a calmer state of mind, and learning how to reduce stress more.
They do make it clear that while they offer helpful ways to hopefully reduce stress and anxiety in your life, they are no substitute for your own doctor or other types of counseling help. The resources at the end was a great way to end they book, giving us tangible take-always for our own use.

I feel like it is a general overview of a lot of topics to show the reader what is available. Further research or guidance from a practioner would be needed to apply any certain method.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 02:43 This is a practical guide to relieve anxiety and stress, by two authors who are renowned as well as experienced in the subject.
Yet, this is a book to read and understand by the reader him/herself, and then to apply its content to get relieved from his/her anxiety and stress.
To what extent this practice is practical? Without a proper assessment and a guidance from a trained personnel, will it deliver the expected results? Or will it worsen the issue?
