Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Anxiety and Depressive Subtypes Evolved from Primal Altruistic Instincts In this pathbreaking volume, engagingly written for the general public, psychiatrist Jeffrey Kahn reveals that the Angst of anxiety and depression ultimately results from our transformation, over tens of thousands of years, from biologically shaped, almost herdlike prehistoric tribes, to rational and independent individuals in modern civilization. Because of our Reason, we don't choose to act like sheep.Kahn looks at five basic types of modernday angstPanic Anxiety, Social Anxiety, OCD, Atypical Depression, and Melancholic Depressionand shows how each derives from primeval social instincts that once helped our ancestors survive. For instance, the 'panic disorder' which prevents some people from flying may have originally evolved to keep our tribal ancestors from traveling dangerously far from home. Likewise, the increased emotional sensitivity to social rejection that now triggers episodes of 'atypical depression' may have helped maintain polite behavior and social harmony in our ancestors. Our distinctly human civilization and rational consciousness lets us defy these social instincts. But those overridden instincts can resurface as stressful emotional disorders. Kahn notes that some of us painfully tackle this distress headon, in ways that can advance intellectual creativity, social performance and productivity. He also describes the interplay of instinct with the advance of civilization, and on how evolutionary perspective explains why modern treatments work.Ranging from Darwin and Freud to the most cuttingedge medical and scientific findingsdrawing from ancient writings, modern humor and popular lyrics, and with many amusing cartoonsAngst offers us an exciting new slant on some of the most pervasive mental health issues of our time.
