Don't Panic: You Can Overcome Anxiety Without Drugs lecture


A Lecture by Dr Sallee McLaren, Clinical Psychologist & Author

This lecture will discuss Dr. Sallee McLaren’s book and offer a practical alternative to medication:

• Panic attacks, phobias, extreme shyness, and general anxiety disrupt the lives of an estimated 15 percent of the population.
• Typically, these kinds of problems are diagnosed, often without evidence, as being caused by a biochemical imbalance that requires rebalancing through medication. The result, very often, is an endless psychiatric revolving-door syndrome.
• Understanding what anxiety is and how it is caused offers alternatives to medication.
• This lecture will explore this book and offer proven ways for individuals to change their lives for the better – permanently and without drugs.

Sallee’s book Don’t Panic You Can Overcome Anxiety Without Drugs will be available for purchase on the night for $25.00
