Changes: Social anxiety disorder

Latest revision as of 22:49, 17 April 2024

Social anxiety disorder, also known as "social phobia", is a psychiatric condition that everyday social interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness, and embarrassment. Social anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders, alongside generalized anxiety disorder, and it is one of the most common mental disorders with clinical depression in the world. In fact, social anxiety disorder is much more diagnosed in women than in men.

Symptoms may include excessive fear of situations in which one may be judged, worry about embarrassment, humiliation, or concern about offending someone. Social anxiety disorder should not be confused with avoidant personality disorder (AvPD), due to people with social anxiety not having an inferior complex to an extreme and they know how to socialize well with most people (except for the person they like), unlike patients with AvPD who choose to act this way out of fear of being a burden to everyone in an overly sensitive manner.

Talk therapy and antidepressants can help increase confidence and improve ability to interact with others.
