According to the National Institute of Mental Health, panic and anxiety attacks affect tens of millions of Americans. One of the first people who studied and wrote about anxiety and panic disorders was Dr. Claire Weekes.

Pass Through Panic gives the listener simple methods needed to pass through the web of fear, anxiety and panic that has imprisoned them. Weekes gives the sufferer hope that there is an end in sight to the cycle in which they are trapped.
