Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- Newly revised 4th edition includes the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of panic disorder. -- Recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. -- Panic Disorder is the only book of its kind, written for the layperson in the '90s, to approach the subject from a medical point of view. -- Key points about the disorder are illustrated with case studies. Very little current information is available for patients regarding the medical, rather than psychological, aspects of this affliction. Panic Disorder closes that information gap, and shows that there is no reason to suffer from the disorder when medication has proven to be so effective. "The National Anxiety Foundation gives Dr. Kernodle an A+ for his contribution to a better understanding of this important problem". -- Stephen M. Cox, M.D., President National Anxiety Foundation "It (Panic Disorder-The Medical Point of View) keeps the strength of the first edition: clear, conversational tone. And it updates and expands on the medical treatment of the disorder. A valuable addition to the literature for the public". -- Brian B. Doyle, M.D., Director Anxiety Disorders Program, Department of Psychiatry, Georgetown Medical School "Altogether, this book presents a concise, yet thorough overview of panic disorder and its consequences, as well as a refreshingly balanced approach to treatment...It appears to be a superior patient-oriented book compared with those already on the market". -- The Journal of Family Practice
