Tim Clare has endured the torment of anxiety and panic attacks for over a decade, reaching a point where his worst episodes would leave him curled on the floor, desperately seeking solace from his wife. As the burden on him and his family grew insurmountable, he made a solemn pledge to himself - he would exhaust every avenue, every method, and every medicine in his quest to overcome his condition.

In his captivating book, Coward, Tim Clare delves into a comprehensive exploration of various treatments for anxiety, encompassing a wide range of approaches, from the prescribed use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) to the experimental realm of hypnosis and even extreme dietary interventions. He embarks on a journey of discovery, engaging in insightful interviews with experts in the field and willingly subjecting himself to their methods as a guinea pig. Through a year of ups and downs, Tim meticulously documents his experiences, sharing both the successes and failures that he encounters along the way.

In the culmination of his journey, Tim unveils the treatments that have proven to be effective for him, as well as those that have fallen short. More importantly, he challenges the prevailing notion of anxiety and encourages readers to reevaluate their own perspectives on this debilitating condition. Coward serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a rallying call for individuals to embrace the power of self-discovery and healing.
