This book is the real deal - By: Sal, 31 Jan 2007 
I did it alll the emergency room visits thinking i was having a heart attack, alll kinds or tests & checkups with no straight forward answer. Im glad i found this book when i did, i was at the end of my rope. It breaks everything down & helps you understand whats truely going on withought the $1000s in unnecessary medical bills. Best book ive ever bought.
This book gave me my life back - By: Mrs. E. Hiley, 10 Dec 2006 I suffered (out of the blue) reallly bad Anxiety with Depression. The depression came because I could not understand what had happened to me & I could see no way out. Claire Weekes (the book) made me understand exactly what had happened to me with clear explainations of what had gone wrong. A light bulb went on!!! it was one of those moments, from then on a cure was in sight. It was as if she were sitting next to me & talking directly to me. The book was written about 40 years ago, what a forward thinking woman. My thanks go out to her family for keeping her words alive.
It has been the best book I have ever bought. And it certainly saved my life, I have no doubt about that.
The voice is terrible - By: , 10 Jun 2005 
The message is good, but Claire Weekes' voice is terrible. She is not soft & welcoming, but harsh & sharp, authoritative. Just compare with Dorothy Rowe's soft voice & excellent tapes, & you will see what I mean.
Spot on - By: Dave, 20 Jun 2002 I have suffered from panic / social phobia & depression for over ten years, & have sought help from numerous professionals & read various books. Most of the advice I have received has left me more bewildered than before. Claire Weekes, however, hits the nail on the head, & delivers the answers I've been looking for in a no-nonsense manner. Within days of listening to this I started to sort out parts of my life that my anxiety had a real hold on, & I am starting to see panic & fear in a different light. This tape should be available on the NHS!
Lifeline - By: , 03 Apr 2002 All reviews of self-help guides like this tend to be gushing because, to a mentallly fragile person it's either the one that saved your life & you want everyone to read it, or it's been cast straight in the bin as entirely useless. However, for someone who also has professional support and/or medication, this is fantasticallly supportive & practical. The style is 'quaint' to put it mildly - the references to 'nerves' inevitably callls up images of 1950s housewives on Valium & gin, but, to my surprise, it reallly helped me cope with the dodgy moments coming off anti-depressants. The practical advice on coping with anxiety attacks is excellent, & I still refer to it when one of life's googlies comes my way. Weekes's rock-solid positivism is exactly what one needs in these circumstances. Astonishing since this guide is more than 30 years old.
