Question by santa_14075: has anyone used Lucinda Bassett’s “attacking anxiety & depression” self help program? and did it help?
I have a teenager who is experiencing anxiety, depression and phobia. I have read about a self help program to deal with this. It is from the Midwest center by Lucinda Bassett and claims to do wonders. It is not a free program and before spending money I would like to hear from anyone who might have bought or used this particular program.

Personally I thought it to be expensive and it didn’t help. I have found that getting into a support group and private theraphy helped me a lot more than spending the $ 470 that I paid for the stupid program. My thought was that if it is soooo good, why didn’t they offer a money back program???
