Anxiety - Guide For Dummies…

irishguy1983

Hoping someone can help :)

I am looking for a book or maybe a YouTube video that is essentially an introduction about anxiety….Something that explains anxiety, how it works, how it manifests itself and even touches upon how you could suffer from it your whole life and not even know…A guide for dummies so to speak :)

Have close family member who always has had anxiety but escalated massively recently and I’d like to introduce them to the topic…

Hope that makes sense

Also there are some good tips and useful looking resources in this link.
