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 valuable resourcefor 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.
