Anxiety in Health Behaviors and Physical Illness

Series in Anxiety and Related Disorders

by Michael J. Zvolensky (Editor), Jasper A.J. Smits (Editor)

This is a single resource offering theoretical perspectives and reviews of research on the link between health behaviors and physical illness to anxiety. The authors explore the idea of reciprocal relations between anxiety and health factors throughout the developmental course. Special attention is devoted to the mechanisms by which certain health factors (e.g. physical exercise) may play a role in the onset or maintenance of particular anxiety disorders.
