The Antidote to Anxiety: How to Face Your Fears and Find Growth

  • Approximately one in seven adults suffers from anxiety symptoms. Women are twice as likely to be affected as men.
  • Valuable practical knowledge from years of experience as a GP and emergency doctor.
  • With numerous case studies.

From everyday worries to full-blown panic attacks.

While many self-help books only address the symptoms of anxiety and panic or remain purely theoretical, bestselling author Dr Lisa Federle draws directly from her practical experience. The Antidote to Anxiety combines the medical expertise of an emergency doctor with the human warmth for which she is appreciated throughout the country. With her concrete ‘emergency kit’ and moving case studies, she offers not only relief, but real survival help for stormy times. A book that picks up where people are: in the middle of life. 


“People like Lisa Federle are the glue that holds our society together – and not just in times of crisis.” – The Office of the Federal President on the awarding of the Federal Cross of Merit
