Unfortunately, Dr Weekes died almost 20 years ago, but despite this her work is still highly regarded to this day. Dr Weekes worked with many people that suffered from panic disorders and was able to use her observations, her scientific acumen and her own personal understanding to help many people. She would never claim to cure people; she would always say that she showed people how they could heal themselves. Dr Weekes theorized that nervous disorders result from extended periods of anxiety caused by an oversensitized mind. This state can come suddenly and be caused by an event, or occur gradually and be caused by living with an unbearable ongoing situation that causes anxiousness and stress. She teaches people through her self help methods how to regain mastery over their mental state. She will simply teach you how to deal with feelings of fear and dread.
