5.0 out of 5 stars This book will change your life if you have panic disorder, November 15, 2003
By "patty48" (Ossining, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Several years ago I was fortunate to discover the website of the wonderful doctor/author of this book. I've lived with this incredibly misunderstood disorder all my life and never knew what I had. Why? Because the vast majority of doctors don't understand the full spectrum of panic disorder and attribute so much of the physical problems that go along with it as separate entities. Dr. Shipko is the first doctor that I know of who has put it all together for those of us who have panic disorder. He has defined it and made sense of it. His book will literally change your life if you have panic disorder. The information is so comprehensive and so clearly explained. Knowledge IS power and you will be given the tools to take charge of this disorder and make your way safely through the maze of today's medications and the doctors who try to treat panic disorder. While some physicians listen to their patients and respect their opinions, many doctors have sketchy information about panic disorder and how best to treat it. I can honestly say that the author of this book probably saved my sanity and, I am certain, spared me from the hell of much of today's medications. I have exhausted library books on panic disorder and skimmed books in bookstores and nowhere have I found a single source as concise, clear, helpful, and valuable as this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Insight on many Neglected Issues, November 17, 2003
By Arthur Anderson (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
Dr. Shipko's book not only provides a great overview of panic disorder, but also addresses topics that are often neglected on the subject. Psychological, psychiatric and medical aspects of this frequently misunderstood condition are clearly addressed. Even as an educated patient, I found myself learning new things beyond the DSM-IV manual. Topics include necessary medical tests, GERD and IBS issues, medication and psychotherapy issues, as well as heredity, pregnancy, birth, children, relationship and marriage issues. I believe that anyone with panic disorder could greatly benefit from this insightful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Key to Surviving Panic Disorder, November 16, 2003
By A Customer
"Surviving Panic Disorder What You Need to Know" is a must read for anyone who has just had a diagnosis of Panic Disorder. It is also a valuable book for the general public who has to inter face with people who have anxiety and Panic anxiety disorder. The stats show that 2 to 4 in every 100 persons will suffer from panic disorder during some stage of their life. It affects people of all races and classes. Recent research has shown that there is a genetic or hereditary component, which predisposes people to panic. It is most common for panic disorder to affect people between 20-40 years of age, but it can also affect the very young and the elderly. Dr. Shipko has in his book has done an excellent job in not only describing panic disorder, but methods of "Surviving Panic Disorder".
