The Anxiety Code: Deciphering the Purposes of Neurotic Anxiety

Generalized anxiety disorder is also known as neurotic anxiety. This book examines personality characteristics related to generating and maintaining anxiety. It offers a graduate-level textbook depth exploration of psychopathology with easy-to-understand examples and encouraging dialogue. Just as many biological symptoms (e.g., pain, fever, sweating) serve various functions, the book presents as a mystery that poses an intriguing question: What if anxiety symptoms aren’t merely the effect of some cause, but also personality-based and purposeful means to achieve goals?
