Thanks for highlighting these articles Mike! Most seem to be from before I visited your site regularly. I just checked out the one about lying to therapists. Really great stuff! Kim Woodbridge’s last blog post..Lessons in Backing Up - The Journalspace Disaster

@Doug, I’m glad you liked the post on denial. It is one of my favorites, and in my estimation very important: It is one of the biggest factors standing in the way of people getting the help they need. And as you say, the sometimes slow movement of Anxiety development does contribute to denial. Isn’t it odd how people will do anything to deny being mentally ill?

@Pete – Thanks for dropping by and commenting! The classification and description of the Anxiety Disorders is really in its infancy, and this study points toward the possible reclassification of them. Though probably not in time for the DSM-V, due in 2012.

Mike, the post on denial was very interesting! I didn’t know that it wasn’t until Freud came along that the concept was created (Were we in denial about denial for that long? :) . I think many people live in denial about their anxiety problems because they often creep up so slowly. We get used to being anxious and don’t realize, or don’t want to recognize, that something is wrong. http://iamlivingwithanxiety.blogspot.com/
