Summary
Phobia, a word that we have all probably heard, usually in conjunction with another word. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. The word phobia comes from the greek god Phobos, who was literally the god of fear.
Why do we have phobias? Why can they be so intense and irrational? Is there a difference between being afraid of something, and having a phobia of it? Are there any signs to indicate a phobia? How do you overcome one?
What exactly is manic depression? Does it turn you into a really crazy, sad person? What does it do to people? Are there any signs? Are there any treatments? What triggers manic depression? Have any tests been done? How do we help people who have it? Are there any changes in the brain? What causes Tourette’s Syndrome? How does it manifest? How do I know if either myself or someone else has it? Is it dangerous? What causes the tics? How do I handle them at home and school? Are there coping strategies? Are there any treatments for this disease?
If you have ever asked any of these questions and want answers, stop dawdling, buy this audiobook, and start listening!

‘The Tourette’s syndrome kid’…Really!?
To start I must point out that I have only listen to the Chapters on Tourette’s syndrome. As a mum of a child with TS and as a nurse I was looking for a scientific book to help me increase my knowledge. This is not that book. Unfortunately it is full of questionable knowledge and it repeats information frequently. This may be a good book for someone who has no idea at all what TS is, and quite possibly the chapters on depression and phobias could have value however I found it less that helpful.
The title ‘Neuroscience’ is misleading the TS chapters had very little if any science in them and no references were given. Also the author refers to a child with TS as ‘the Tourette’s syndrome kid’ this is quite offensive. You wouldn’t say the Asthma kid or the eczema kid - well maybe you would if you were naming some interesting superheroes, but other than that it is not appropriate - I could have possibly forgiven this in a book tiled ‘My thoughts and feelings on depression, phobias and Tourette’s syndrome’ but not if a book titled neuroscience.
