A Brief History of Anxiety
By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, April 8, 2008.
listen:
Anxiety has been called "fear in search of a cause". We all get anxious from time to time, but most of us are able to keep it in check in our daily lives. It can be a struggle for some, though, including Patricia Pearson. She's a novelist and journalist, and she's struggled with anxiety since she was a young girl growing up during the Indo-Pakistani war. She writes about her struggles in her latest book, A Brief History of Anxiety: Yours and Mine. She talks about her work and her condition with Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott.
