Social Anxiety

It’s natural to be apprehensive in certain social situations. For example, going on a date or giving a speech might produce butterflies in your stomach. However, everyday activities cause significant anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment for people with a social anxiety disorder, because they are concerned that others will evaluate or judge them harshly.

Social anxiety causes individuals to develop extreme stress that may have an impact on their relationships, daily routines, jobs, schools, or other interests. Social anxiety disorder can be a persistent mental illness, but psychotherapy and medication can assist you in gaining confidence and increasing your social skills.

Feelings of shyness or discomfort in specific situations are not always indications of social anxiety disorder, especially in children. Comfort levels in social situations vary depending on personal characteristics and life experiences. Some people are naturally quiet while others enjoy being the center of attention. Social anxiety disorder is characterized by fear, tension, and avoidance that get in the way of social interactions, daily routines, work, school, or other activities. Social anxiety disorder usually begins in early to mid-adolescence but can occasionally begin in younger children or adults.
