This book is a bit weird - not quite a memoir of anxiety, but also not quite a nonfiction book about anxiety in general. It reminds me a little of Siddhartha Mukherjee's The Gene: An Intimate History, only heavier on the personal stuff. Chapters start with anecdotes of the author's personal and familial experience with anxiety and mental illness, which then lead to more academic sections on related research. But the research doesn't feel thorough and nicely organized - it's more "here's some stuff I came across while trying to wrap my brain around what I and my family have gone through."
