This book firsts explains the difference between normal anxiety and damaging anxiety. It becomes damaging when it begins to control your life by causing distress, disruption, or making you avoid certain situations. Common anxiety disorders are described: obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and agoraphobia (fear of crowds). Succeeding chapters discuss when and how to ask for help; breathing and muscle activities to calm the body and mind; how to think smart to avoid anxiety; charts and diagrams teens can use to track their anxiety and learn to control it; how to work through panic attacks and even cut them off before they fully develop; family, friend and school stress; nutrition and good health habits that can help teens stay in good physical condition to better weather anxiety.
