Anxiety and Dysautonomia: Do I Have POTS or Autonomic Dysfunction?
What causes anxiety to be so prevalent in so many people? How is it best prevented and treated? What can patients and physicians do to better understand this common medical issue?
Anxiety is a component of many physical and mental disorders, from depression to PTSD. Unfortunately, not many patients find relief in the associated therapies and medications, and simply adding more of the same often causes other disorders. Additionally, many who suffer from anxiety may in fact have other, anxiety-like conditions, such as the frequently misdiagnosed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which can make any attempt at treatment futile.
But now, with Anxiety and Do I Have POTS or Autonomic Dysfunction?, Donald J. Parker and physicians Joseph Colombo and Nicholas L. DePace aim to show, with a simplified analysis and discussion focusing on this common patient complaint and how best to treat it, that no longer does anxiety need to be merely managed with the forced lifestyle changes that are often required. Topics covered
Presenting discussions with patients and doctors side-by-side to help physicians see how to present information to their patients and patients to learn what physicians need to know to tailor therapy to their individual needs, Anxiety and Dysautonomia is an essential resource for anyone concerned with anxiety and anxiety-like disorders, from medical professionals to patients to family and friends.

DNF. Did not get past page 21 where the old school patriarchy tones really got out of control. Seriously. Only page 21. Do not recommend. “If women want control over their bodies, exercise it before getting pregnant” 🤦♀️ Tell me how the topic of abortion at all comes into play over Dysautonomia? By page 21 sounded like a lecture from an old set of white dudes who lay blame on societal breakdowns on simplistic personal opinions and think they have it all figured out. Opinions of which are not remotely relevant to the topic at hand. Don’t bother with this. Are these authors like…for real? It felt like it was written in the 1950’s, and how about suggesting a father tell his daughter, “You are wicked smart and capable,” rather than suggesting “You are pretty.” I can’t even.

DNF. How did he go from dysautonomia to ranting about “confusion with sexual identity” and abortions? Complete garbage. Would’ve been decent information if it weren’t for that.
