Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Overcoming Health Anxiety
David Veale & Rob Willson · 2009
78/100
👍 Worth It
Led by a senior NHS consultant psychiatrist and part of the well-regarded 'Overcoming' CBT series, this digs into specific fears like death and vomiting that most anxiety books wave past. It's narrowly aimed at health anxiety, so general-anxiety readers should look elsewhere, but within its focus it's clinically solid.
