Opis

This is a delightful documentary novel based on author's own suffering through panic disorder. The author uses his personal experience, observation and insight to present a comforting picture of a dreadful disease that can potentially lead to depression and suicide. The author is a medical doctor also experienced in dealing with psychiatric patients and is an established writer of medical and mass media articles, plays, and novels. "My Life with Panic Disorder" presents the nature of this great master of disguise in a friendly, conversational style to explain its mysterious behavior, its effect on patients' quality of life, and several do's and don'ts along the way. This is not an encyclopedic medical treatise on Panic Disorder, nor is it a do-it-yourself manual for treating oneself, nor is it intended to dispense any medical advice. This is a literary work, which aims to enlighten the reader and help him or her understand this miserable disease.
