Reseña del libro "The Fear Talking: The True Story of a Young man and Anxiety (en Inglés)"
'This insightful memoir of a young man's life is eloquent and insightful as it deals with the effects of anxiety on his life. The Fear Talking is well written, intelligent and very accessible; it almost has the page turning quality of a thriller. Readers will soon find themselves engrossed in Chris s struggle to identify and cope with his condition before fully understanding his mental health issues. Surely people facing anxiety issues will find much to identify with here.' - Paul Burke, NB Magazine A compelling, heartbreaking story of a teenager, his family, and finding the courage to live with anxiety. It's an everyday story of life, friendship, love, going to school, and terror. The Fear Talking tells the true story of Chris Westoby, who as a teenager has a life-long anxiety condition, but he doesn't know it - no one does as he's undiagnosed. He wants to be alone, all day, forever, and swallows every aspiration that he has to complete his education, be a good boyfriend and live a life without perpetual fear. 'Anxiety is the most common form of mental distress and of course overlaps with normal human emotion. Yet it can be overwhelming and disabling and a gateway to other mental ill health notably depression and self-medication with alcohol and other substances. This engaging account throws a spotlight on how anxiety impacts on everyday life and relationships.' - Patrick McGorry, Professor of Youth Mental Health, University of Melbourne
