Book Description
Finally take control of your anxiety without medication so your anxiety stops controlling you! Per the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), anxiety affects over 2 billion adults worldwide and over 97 million in the United States alone, of which an estimated 54% of these are women. The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry stated that anxiety treatment costs are over $42 billion per year in the United States. Of this, $23 billion is for repetitive healthcare services due to symptoms which mimic physical illnesses, such as heart attacks. Compared to non-anxious individuals, those with an anxiety disorder are 5X more likely to go to the doctor, and 6X more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders. Currently, anxiety is the #1 mental health concern in North America. Each year, more than 4 billion prescriptions are filled in the United States alone, of which Paxil and Zoloft are two of the top prescribed medications. Due to lack of medical insurance or funds, many people self-medicate with street drugs and / or alcohol. In fact, 42% of those who struggle with anxiety use recreational drugs. There are many forms of anxiety, of which each affects millions of people: Generalized Anxiety Disorder: 6.8 million, in which women are 2X more likely to be afflicted with than men. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: 2.2 million, which is equally common in both men and women. Panic Disorder: 6 million, in which women are 2X more likely to be afflicted with than men. This often co-exists with depression. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): 7.7 million, in which women are more afflicted. Social Anxiety Disorder: 15 million, which is equally common in both men and women. If you answer "yes" to most items on the included questionnaire, it's likely you could be clinically-diagnosed with anxiety. The bad news is that symptoms don't disappear when ignored. The good news is that with the right help you can regain control of your life, enjoy more fulfilling relationships, find your authenticity, reconnect with your passions, reach goals, express yourself more freely, experience more stable work environments, increase your academic success, break free from addictions, and even have strong spirituality. And that is why this book exists.

Book Description
Fear-based illnesses are the most common mental disorders. In fact, statistical information reveals that 15 million people in the United States and up to 792 million people worldwide are affected by fears and phobias. So, whether you are terrified of heights, bugs, public speaking, or anything else… you are definitely not alone. Stigmas, perceptions, and misconceptions that follow mental illness can be debilitating, often locking people into "the system" and over-loading them with psychological medications. The good news is that the tips & tools in this book can help you avoid the stigma so you can effectively deal with your fear at home. Or, if you are currently seeking therapy, this book can enhance your current treatment plan. In fact, 19 million Americans have a specific phobia, and many of them have more than one. Fear is found under the category of "phobia" but what is a phobia? It is an overwhelming, irrational, and persistent fear of something that is of little to no danger, yet we avoid the object or situation at all costs. Phobias include anxiety disorders but can also include post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive, and other related illnesses. Per the National Institute of Mental Health: * 19 million (9.1%) Americans have a specific phobia, and many have more than one phobia. * 5.5% of the teenage population is afflicted by social fears. * After 10 years of suffering, only 40% actually seek treatment. * Specific phobias general appear in early childhood, around age 7. * Traumatic events and stress can trigger the development of fear. * Women are 2X more likely than men to have fears or phobias. By exploring the symptoms in the enclosed questionnaire, you will be better able to decide if seeking cognitive-behavioral or exposure therapy is a good option for you. Inside this book are the stories of women from around the world who have struggled with fear, just like you. Their personal stories, tips, and tools may be just what you need to make life a little easier. In fact, that's why this book exists.

Book Description
You no longer have to beone of over 300 million people struggling with depression. Depression affects over 18 million adults in the United States alone, and over 300 million worldwide. Yet many people are too embarrassed to seek help, tell themselves they are over-reacting, or don't know that depression is considered a serious medical disorder of the brain. In fact, under the umbrella of depression there are also other diagnoses such as: bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The National Institute of Mental Health shared these shocking statistics: Because of depression, workers miss a combined total of 490 million work days per year which causes a combined annual economic loss for businesses of over $100 billion. Bipolar Disorder affects 6.3 million people in the United States alone. Depression is the leading cause of suicide - with one person dying by suicide every 13 minutes. Postpartum Depression affects 15% of new mothers within a month of delivering their baby. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)affects 8 million adults each year. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death with an average of 1,400,000 suicide attempts each year which is an average of 3,600 people attempting to end their life each day. The World Health Organization (WHO) rates severe depression in the same disability category as terminal cancer, stating that depression is the # 1 cause of disability for ages 15 - 44. While it's important to understand that everybody feels down at times, if your "down days" interrupt yourself-care, relationships, or career, you are likely depressed. The more you answer "yes" to the included questionnaire, the more likely you could be clinically diagnosed with depression. Therefore, inside of this book are the stories of women from around the world who have struggled with depression, just like you. Their personal stories, tips, and tools may be just what you need to help conquer the "down days".

Book Description
In Behind Closed Doors and Standing in the Shadows, Shannon McKenna introduced the McCloud Brothers: intense, rugged, and super-sexy. Now, Davy McCloud is about to meet a woman he can't trust--or live without. . . Disillusioned P.I. Davy McCloud has an ironclad rule: never follow blind impulse when it comes to women. But he breaks it the instant gorgeous Margo Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The sexual hunger--and the instinctual protectiveness--that she awakens is much too strong to resist. Broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn't commit, Margot has no one to turn to but Davy McCloud. But the closer he comes, the more Margot discovers that holding back--or hiding--from this enigmatic, powerful man is impossible. In every way. . . Then passion flares with unexpected intensity. But Margot's past has finally caught up with her, and life is about to get more than complicated. It's turning deadly. . .

The End of Anxiety is designed for individuals or small groups; each chapter begins with Scripture and finishes with practical steps you can apply for immediate relief.

Book Description
Two sisters are torn apart by war and must fight their way back to each other in a futuristic, Black Panther-inspired Nigeria. The year is 2172. Climate change and nuclear disasters have rendered much of earth unlivable. Only the lucky ones have escaped to space colonies in the sky. In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs meant to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate. Across the nation, as the years-long civil war wages on, survival becomes the only way of life. Two sisters, Onyii and Ify, dream of more. Their lives have been marked by violence and political unrest. Still, they dream of peace, of hope, of a future together. And they're willing to fight an entire war to get there. Acclaimed author, Tochi Onyebuchi, has written an immersive, action-packed, deeply personal novel perfect for fans of Nnedi Okorafor, Marie Lu, and Paolo Bacigalupi.
