Overcoming anxiety.anyone know of a self help book for teens?

My daughter is 14. She has had, for several years I believe, social anxiety with some OCD. She hasn't wanted to talk to anyone or take any medication. She did agree on a self help book. I am looking for something that would be on her level. Any ideas?

Answers:
This might be a bit above her level but I would recommend The Dance of Intimacy, and other similar books, by Harriet Lerner. My counselor suggested it when I was overcoming depression and anxiety and it has really made a positive impact on my life. She has many other "Dance" books, including one on Fear (about anxiety) that may be helpful too. I kept a journal to write things down while I was reading and that helped me too.

I really understand where your daughter is coming from. I finally got help when I was 20 for my depression and anxiety and went through counseling for about nine months and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I wish you and your daughter the best of luck!

sorry I don't know of any self help book for teens.

But for my self I find walking has helped me alot.
and by the way your doing the rite thing by letting her choose how she wants to help her self that is very empowering for her.
