Monster in the Cave: How to Face Your Fear and Anxiety and Live Your Life

David Mellinger and Steven Jay Lynn

I found this book to possibly help my husband, who has had some severe issues with anxiety and dissociative episodes. It was easy to understand and talks about many different kinds of anxiety and also includes such issues as schizophrenia, OCD, etc. There are chapters on different types of medication used for treatment, what they do, pros and cons to taking them as well. There are worksheets to use for different exercises in learning how to control anxiety, and many different things you can do to help cope with it and overcome it. It took me most of the summer to get through it...not exactly pleasure reading, but also we dealt with my mother and mother in law having medical issues and taking care of them... so not a lot of reading went on over the summer. Glad to be done with this, it was enlightening.
