520    "Clinical psychologist and mind-body expert Dr. Scott 
       Lyons unpacks "drama addiction" with scientific insight, 
       compassion, and empathy, providing strategies to identify 
       and heal. Many of us know someone who seems to thrive on 
       chaos, a person who manufactures crisis where there is 
       none. A person who makes mountains out of molehills, and 
       whose very presence feels like an inescapable whirlwind. 
       We may even label them a "drama queen." But Dr. Scott 
       Lyons shows us that these people are experiencing a much 
       deeper psychological, biological, and social pain, and how
       drama becomes their medicine. Crisis and chaos becomes 
       their new normal, stress levels are chronically high, and 
       the moment those start to drop towards relaxation, an 
       internal alarm of danger sounds, and the cycle of drama 
       returns to maintain control and balance. With studies, 
       primary research, and patient stories, Dr. Lyons 
       deconstructs drama addiction, sharing: what drama 
       addiction is and what it is not ; how to identify patterns
       of drama addiction in yourself and others ; the physical, 
       psychological, and social effects of drama addiction 
       (chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, joint and muscle 
       pains, social isolation, and other conditions) ; where it 
       emerges from, and how we are heading towards a global 
       pandemic of drama addiction ; steps for coping and 
       recovery. With clear-eyed empathy, humor, and accessible 
       practices, Dr. Lyons helps readers understand and break 
       free of the drama cycle"--|cProvided by publisher.
