About the book
Help! I Think I'm Dying! Panic Attacks and Phobias: A Consumer's Guide to Getting Treatment That Works grew out of Dr. Granoff's own experience with two full-blown panic attacks and his decades of treating patients with anxiety disorders. It explains in plain language what panic attacks, panic disorder and phobias are, why they are so often misdiagnosed, and how to find, receive and continue to get good treatment. The book includes four inserts that update the material; the last two were added in 2018. Read the book's introduction free.
