Insecurity is the most widespread psychiatric problem of our time. Decades of research have been conducted to explore its mysteries and develop treatments. But what if we've been imagining fear and insecurity in the wrong way all these years?

This is the revolutionary perspective behind a wave of new research, led by the lab of famed neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux. He believes that fear and insecurity are not inherent states simply waiting to be unleashed in the brain. Instead, they are constructed experiences, and this has huge implications for patients. By mapping the brain circuits, LeDoux explains the roots of anxiety disorders and reveals discoveries that can restore sufferers to normalcy.

As impressive as it is, "Anxiety" is a timely, concise overview of the innovative research that is revolutionizing how we treat our most pressing mental issue.
