Evangelical Anxiety: A Memoir offers a candid account of one man's journey through crippling panic attacks and chronic anxiety while immersed in an evangelical Christian world that mistrusted therapy and self-examination.

As his suffering intensifies, he faces the painful tension between relying solely on prayer and seeking medical and psychological care. Choosing to pursue long-term psychoanalysis, he begins to unearth buried shame, confront inherited beliefs about sin, sex, and mental illness, and question the rigid expectations of his religious community.

Through this hard-won inner work, the author traces how his understanding of faith is reshaped rather than discarded. He explores the gap between Christian teaching and scientific treatment and suggests how these two realms might coexist in ways that honour both spiritual conviction and emotional wellbeing.

Honest and reflective, this memoir speaks to anyone who has wrestled with anxiety in a religious context, or who longs for language to talk about depression, therapy, and belief without stigma.
