About the Book

A wakeup call about the overprescribing and over consumption of benzodiazepines or "benzos" for patients and mental health professionals.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States, with roughly 40 million people suffering annually and growing rapidly.

The United State of Anxiety reveals how much we still don't know about the medication we take to help us cope with today's worried world. The book features the following:

  • The history of benzodiazepines
  • Why we have medicalized our stress and anxiety
  • How the pharmaceutical industry exploits our anxious world, creating what has become a silent prescription drug epidemic.

It explores the issue of the prescribing and consuming of benzodiazepines in a comprehensive and accessible way and asks the questions millions of people around the world need answering about the drugs we so readily take to deal with our stress and anxiety.

Benzodiazepines are psychoactive drugs commonly prescribed to treat anxiety and insomnia. They are also prescribed to treat other conditions including panic, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal. They work quickly and suit our quick-fix world, but benzos can cause tolerance, addiction, dependence and a multitude of serious adverse effects.

As the prescribing of benzos continues to soar exponentially around the world, so does the number of people in the benzodiazepine-prescribed harm communities.

Explaining the realities of the issue of benzodiazepines by presenting evidence-based facts and real-life experiences, this book will help enable us to become savvy about the medication we take to treat our anxiety, help us make informed choices and contribute to changing how we think about, talk about, and cope with the anxiety and stress which has unfortunately become an integral and common part of life.
