About this listen

Expert advice from a neurotic shrink who's lived with it all his life.

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Mark Cross knows a lot about anxiety. Many of his patients experience anxiety, which is hardly surprising, because anxiety is the most common mental-health condition in Australia, affecting up to one in four people at some point in their lives. But Mark also knows about anxiety from another perspective, because he too has suffered from it all his life.

In this audiobook, the co-author of Changing Minds, who featured in the ABC TV series of the same name, demystifies anxiety in his trademark warm and friendly style.

For people with anxiety, their families and friends, the audiobook explores: types of anxiety; causes and common triggers; medical, therapy-based and natural treatments; the effect of anxiety at each life stage; anxiety in the workplace; navigating the health systems; and much more.

Along the way, Mark shares his own experiences as well as stories from others who have not only survived but thrived.

Raw, Vulnerable & Keeping it Real.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Dr Mark Cross' book on Anxiety. I'd seen him on the TV show which followed him around in his work. This book, narrated by Dr Cross, opened by eyes, ears & heart. I've had some anxiety most of my life but I don't live with an anxiety diagnosis. I applaud all who are helping others & those who are undergoing help for mental illness. Clearly in Australia there is a huge divide & I know our Australian Govt needs to listen & provide more. Thanks again Dr Cross for your story! Your work is valued by many.

Not what I expected

I really appreciated the author being frank and direct about his life and struggles. his knowledge and personal anecdotes were heartfelt. I wanted a book which have more instruction and suggestions re managing and identifying anxiety. To that end I found the first part of the book great. After that, less so.

Too much of the author, too little about the subject matter

I was hoping for a great book about it anxiety, but the author spends an inordinate amount of time detailing his youthful sexual behaviour to my taste.
