As someone who has dealt with chronic anxiety their whole life, as well as having other diagnoses, this was a super informative read that left me feeling hopeful. The author was really good at looking at all sides of the disorder, such as genetics, pharmaceuticals, and nature vs. nurture. I am left feeling hopeful, yet shrugging my shoulders because I don't think scientists will ever know what truly causes anxiety disorder. Read this book if you want a thorough examination of the disorder with added memoir-type experiences throughout.
