Panic Books: Books and other resources for sufferers of panic

Throughout one's journey to end panic for good, they will come across many resources that claim to end panic and other anxiety related conditions permanently. While many are created for the sole purpose of sales with the author having no real credibility, there are several out there that I believe force the panic sufferer to look inside themselves, face their reality, and force the answer upon themselves.

Panic Websites:

PanicSurvivor: This is a pretty much a forum with various blogs by sufferers of panic. It's got high traffic so there's always something new going on.

AnxietyZone: This was probably the most helpful to me on my way to recovery. It has a friendly community that is willing to help out anybody.

SocialAnxietySupport: Another great forum with high traffic. Many caring individual who have defeated anxiety, yet stick around to help those who still suffer.

Panic-Anxiety: This site contains the most essential panic information that I've found. Not only is it highly anecdotal, but contains one of the only methods for curing anxiety that I believes work for the long term.

Panic Books:

Hope and Help for Your Nerves, by Claire Weekes: This is a great older book, it's actually decades old, narrated by a former sufferer. Her method is mostly based around the acceptance model of panic management.

When Panic Attacks, by David Burns: This is the first book I've ever read about panic and anxiety. It is written by a psychologist and its approach is based around various popular psychological methods of treatment, with a high emphasis on cognitive based therapy.

From Panic to Power, by Lucinda Bassett: Lucinda Bassett is the lady you may have seen on late-night infomercial selling one of her anti anxiety programs. I actually went through one of series of tapes at one point many years ago. They offered a lot of hope and a lot of practical methods of putting a “band aid” on the symptoms, but do little to treat the core of anxiety.

The Linden Method, By Charles Linden: This is one of the few “be all end all” anxiety resources. It not only treats the symptoms of anxiety and panic, but it treats the core: it forces you to change the way you perceive yourself and your relationship with your anxiety and panic. This is the one I wish I had found years ago, so I would have focused on applying the method, rather than searching everywhere else and coming up empty handed.

Note: panic websites usually contain information that works for the short-term. Panic books oftentimes contain information that will work for the long term, there is information that no one in their right mind would simply give away for free. Panic books also have the benefit of being able to have the reader focus on the subject without getting distracted by other sites. If you want to know how to cure anxiety and panic attacks, panic books are definitely a better source of information.
