As recently as thirty-five years ago, anxiety did not exist as a diagnostic category. Today, it is the most common form of officially classified mental illness. Scott Stossel gracefully guides us across the terrain of an affliction that is pervasive yet too often misunderstood.

Drawing on his own long-standing battle with anxiety, Stossel presents an astonishing history, at once intimate and authoritative, of the efforts to understand the condition from medical, cultural, philosophical and experiential perspectives. He ranges from the earliest medical reports of Galen and Hippocrates, through later observations by Robert Burton and Søren Kierkegaard, to the investigations by great nineteenth-century scientists, such as Charles Darwin, William James and Sigmund Freud, as they began to explore its sources and causes, to the latest research by neuroscientists and geneticists. Stossel reports on famous individuals who struggled with anxiety, as well as the afflicted generations of his own family. His portrait of anxiety reveals not only the emotion's myriad manifestations and the anguish it produces, but also the countless psychotherapies, medications and other (often outlandish) treatments that have been developed to counteract it. Stossel vividly depicts anxiety's human toll – its crippling impact, its devastating power to paralyse – while at the same time exploring how those who suffer from it find ways to manage and control it.

My Age of Anxiety is learned and empathetic, humorous and inspirational, offering the reader great insight into the biological, cultural and environmental factors that contribute to the affliction.

最近到三十多年前，焦虑症还不是一种诊断分类。如今，它是官方分类的最常见精神疾病形式。斯托塞尔先生优雅地带领我们穿越了这种病症普遍却常常被误解的土地。

斯托塞尔先生基于自己长期与焦虑症斗争的经历，向我们呈现了一部既亲切又权威的关于从医学、文化、哲学和经验等多角度理解这种状况的历史。他追溯自伽琳和希波克拉底最早的医学报告，再到罗伯特·布罗兹和苏格兰·凯尔凯佐斯的观察结果，以及十九世纪伟大科学家们的调查，如查尔斯·达尔文、威廉·詹姆斯和西格蒙德·弗洛伊德等人，他们开始探索其起源与原因。还有最新研究的神经学家和遗传学家的研究成果。斯托塞尔先生报告了那些挣扎于焦虑症的人，以及自己家族代代相传受此影响的一家。

斯托塞尔先生描绘了焦虑症给人类带来的沉重负担——它造成的身心创伤及其对人的控制能力——同时也在探索那些患有这种疾病的群体是如何找到方法来管理与控制它的。

《我的焦虑时代》既丰富又充满同理心，既幽默又鼓舞人心，为读者提供了有助于了解导致这种病症的生物学、文化和社会因素的深刻见解。
