They Can't Find Anything Wrong

A specialist in Stress Illness reveals how to identify and remedy this potentially serious health issue that too often goes undiagnosed.

Every year, millions of people seek medical care for symptoms that diagnostic tests are unable to explain. Sent away frustrated, or thinking it’s “all in their heads,” the truth is that many of these people are ill because of hidden stresses. 

Dr. David Clarke has done pioneering work with thousands of these patients, often sent to him as a last resort.  In They Can’t Find Anything Wrong, he offers real solutions to put a stop to the stress illness epidemic. Dr. Clarke describes the major types of stress and explains steps for treatment with a range of effective techniques. Case histories that read like medical mysteries illustrate the concepts and make them easy to apply.
