Fear is a big factor of anxiety. Fear can be innate or learned. When fear becomes triggered at wrong or inappropriate times, anxiety may result. Anxiety includes many different disorders. It can come in the form of phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and generalized stress disorder. This book details each disorder, what may cause the anxiety, and treatment of the disorder. Most anxiety is treated with antidepressants in adults. However, in teenagers antidepressants have been known to increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. Teenagers with anxiety disorders are better treated by learning ways to control their anxiety. There are also other alternative ways of treating anxiety, such as psychotherapy, acupuncture, aromatherapy, hypnotism, and virtual reality. Some alternative treatments have proven better than others have. When reading this book, there is also the history of anxiety and the way anxiety affects the brain.
