[HoneyBadger]

Interesting array of cases, many bizarre, however, almost non-existent coverage of panic disorder/depression/anxiety, which would be expected, which was specifically the information I was seeking.
Further, the description given on this site is in no way related to this book - it is not focused at all on nursing home residents, therefore, totally misleading!
