OK, so you don’t have a full-blown anxiety or panic disorder, but you are a worrywart. This may be a helpful guide. Written by a Harvard psychiatrist, the book describes the role of worry in various medical disorders and details how it can be destructive. His approach to worry is that it is a problem that can be managed as opposed to allowing worry to cause endless suffering.
