Critic Reviews

“Trudy Scott’s book, The Antianxiety Food Solution, fills an important gap in the popular literature on anxiety. It provides clear, helpful guidelines for utilizing nutrition to overcome anxiety.” (Edmund Bourne, PhD, author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook)

“A great little book with plenty of practical advice backed by science.” (Daniel G. Amen, MD, author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life)

“Every one of the millions now suffering from anxiety has a new friend in Trudy Scott, whose book offers them a nutritional lifeline. Replete with specific and practical suggestions, this book is backed up by research and clinical expertise.” (Julia Ross, MA, MFT, author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure)

Not worth the time or money

The information provided is mostly based on old research, subjective research, and myth so old it's accepted as truth. Some of the nutritional information is decent but then there's a lot that just isn't. The narrator has a few quirky ways of pronouncing things and her voice is a little annoying to listen to. I'm sure she's a wonderful person but still difficult to listen to long periods of time.

Life-Changing Reference Guide

I have had this book for several years and have listened to it numerous times. It is so full of information that I find myself returning to it again and again, learning tons of new stuff every time. I am a clinical social worker and our tendency is to look to psychiatrists to prescribe medications to deal with anxiety and depression but when these medications didn't work for my family, I found myself looking for something else. I found answers in this book! I'm in awe that affordable, accessible supplements, in addition to smart lifestyle choices, can and have made such an incredible difference in all of our lives. It's so empowering to be able to do so much to improve our own lives. I'm so grateful to Trudy for writing this book and sharing her depth of insight and knowledge. (My only complaint is that the questionnaires and some of the more technical information are not offered as a downloadable pdf.)

Love the book but the narrator is not so great

This book is helpful, but why must the narrator sound so robotic? It really bothers me that she says "expecially" for especially throughout the.entire.book. EEek!!! bothers me so bad. Otherwise, helpful information. :)

Very Helpful!!

I found this book very informative and helpful. I guess the other reviewers have anxiety and couldn't see the beauty of this presentation of practical tips and insights.

Incredible BS.

Shallow, pseudo scientific book. Poor research and alle kind of unlogical conclusions and assumptions.

could be delivered better.

The robotic dialogue in parts was very frustrating along with the continual references to other chapters time and time again. The subject matter was interesting and applicable to me and gave me some invaluable information to be getting on with. I would have liked a narrative without the chopping of robotic style, computer inserted words and phrases.

Good info, jumps around robotic sounding reading

lots of good info, dont agree with some of the food recommendations, a iittle confusing in parts and the reading is very robotic like, still well worth a read

Life changing book

Thank you for sharing this helpful and important information. I hope many people will find this book and change their lives to better.
