Excerpted from the website description:
- Fright can be an terrible foe. Don't let your fear of life conquer you. What to do if you are affraid? What to do if you are scared? What to do about fear in your life? Anxiety is a major mental health problem in the U.S., seriously affecting approximately 10 to 15 percent of the adult population. Completely updated, this website presents step-by-step guidelines, questionnaires, and exercises to help sufferers learn skills and make lifestyle changes to help them get relief from the most distressing symptoms. Expanded coverage of traditional and new medications, plus supplements and herbs such as kava, St. John's wort, etc... The ancestor of our word fear, meant “calamity, disaster,” but not the emotion engendered by such an event. This is in line with the meaning of the prehistoric Common Germanic word ·fraz, “danger,” which is the source of words with similar senses in other Germanic languages, such as Old Saxon and Old High German fr, “ambush, danger,” and Old Icelandic fr, “treachery, damage.” Scholars, in fact, have determined the form and meaning of Germanic ·fraz by working backward from the forms and the meanings of its descendants. The most important cause of the change of meaning in the word fear was probably the existence in Old English of the related verb fran, which meant to terrify, take by surprise. Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense emotion of fear in a work composed around 1290.
