The lifetime prevalence rate the chances of developing social anxiety disorder at any time during the lifespan stands at above 13 percent. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps a person deal with a tense situation at school or work or helps you study harder for an exam, and keeps you focused on an important situation. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. There are five major types of anxiety disorders. They are: Generalized Anxiety Disorder Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Panic Disorder Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) Social anxiety is defined as: the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people.

Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder) Symptoms This section describes the symptoms of social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, employed by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Therapy and the Role of Clinical Diagnostic Criteria Symptoms of Social Phobia Diagnostic Criteria for Social Phobia Therapy and the Role of Clinical Diagnostic Criteria In my own face-to-face and online therapy practice , I do not treat clients as manifestations of mental illnesses in need of medical fixing. No one is merely a case of bipolar disorder , an obsessive-compulsive , or a paranoid schizophrenic . In my view, formal diagnostic categories hold some value in terms of contextual information, but they play a much less important role than the specific personal circumstances of a given client. If you are a client, you are first and foremost a specific, unique individual. Nonetheless, in my experience of working with clients who have received formal psychiatric diagnoses from other mental health professionals, I have often found that clients feel they lack adequate information about what these diagnostic labels actually mean. The entries in this section aim to provide the basic facts about each of several diagnostic labels. Please note that the diagnostic information provided here is for educational purposes only and cannot replace the advice of a qualified mental health professional. More information about diagnostic labels is available on the page on the DSM and ICD Symptoms of Social Phobia

Participants will then be required to make three visits to NIH. During the first visit, they will be asked questions about their general mood, degree of nervousness, thinking skills, and behavior. They will undergo a thorough physical exam, including an EKG, blood work, urinalysis, and a pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential. During the second visit, participants will spend about 2.5 hours doing various tasks while sitting and looking at a computer screen.
