We've all felt occasional pangs of shyness and self-consciousness,
but for the 15 million Americans with social anxiety disorder, the
fear of being scrutinized and criticized can reach disabling
proportions. Such was the case for Emily Ford, who shares her
firsthand experiences in these pages.
Emily's true story of fear, struggle, and ultimate triumph is sure
to resonate with other socially anxious teenagers and young adults.
Emily's frank, often witty, sometimes poignant account of how she
negotiated all the obstacles of social anxiety--and eventually
overcame them with the help of therapy and hard work--makes for
compelling reading. Yet this book is more than just a memoir.
Emily's story is coupled with the latest
medical and scientific information about the causes, diagnosis,
treatment, and self-management of social anxiety disorder (or SAD).
Readers will find a wealth of solid advice and genuine inspiration
here. In engaging, accessible language--and with the help of
psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz--she
discusses what is known and not known about social anxiety disorder
in adolescents. She outlines the various psychotherapies available
for those with SAD and explains how to seek professional help, how
to talk to family and friends about the illness, and how to handle
difficult social situations.
The result is both an absorbing story and a useful guide that will
help to ease the isolation caused by SAD, encouraging young people
to believe that, with commitment and hard work, they can overcome
this illness.
Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books
written specifically for teens and young adults, What You Must
Think of Me will also be a valuableresource for friends and family
of those with SAD. It offers much-needed hope to young people,
helping them to overcome this illness and
lead healthy, productive lives.
