Right, a surgeon with two assistants applies cupping glasses to the patient's back, while a third assistant comforts the patient. Right foreground, a seated woman bent over in despair

Arthur is a penguin and a worrier. One morning he wakes up feeling excited and worried all at once. Dad has promised him a birthday party and there is an awful lot to think about.

"The two mischievous squirrels that live inside Timothy love to make his heart race and his stomach lurch - all day long. This leaves Timothy with anxious feelings that never go away and sometimes cause him to make poor choices. Once day, when Timothy gets some bad news at school, the squirrels get excited and do their best to mess with Timothy's insides. however; by using a few simple strategies, Timothy is able to show the squirrels that he's boss, and able to keep his anxiety under control."--From cover.

What to do when you worry too much : a kid's guide to overcoming anxiety / by Dawn Huebner ; illustrated by Bonnie Matthews.

A film about recognising and treating people with depression looking at patients and clinical recognition, treatment and effectiveness. To start, three patients speak to camera about their low mood. In a hospital situation, a male patient who has been admitted has mysterious symptoms with a history of multiple admissions, he is discussed by an experienced physician and junior colleagues. This appears to be dramatised; he identifies depression as the cause. In the United Kingdom, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Dr C. M. Pare also visits a patient and listens to how a patient describes her moods. He underlies how physical symtoms often manifest prior to obvious indicators of a deterioration in mental health (sleep etc). J. F . Silverstone from St Bartholomew's also contributes to the discussion. A comparison between how depression manifests itself in young and older people is made. A number of other experienced clinicians from the United Kingdom also share their experiences (the film visits them in their institutions). How anti-depression drugs work is discussed in the form of a lecture to practitioners; there is an issue with dosage and effectiveness. A clinician from Denmark (name hard to read on the film) explains how lithium is effective and has a role in treating mania. Their interaction and treating anxiety, depression and insomnia is discussed.
