Online Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder
What is social anxiety disorder?
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), also termed ‘social phobia’, is a type of anxiety disorder characterised by an overwhelming fear of social situations. Social anxiety is more than being simply shy. Central to SAD is a fear of social situations that does not go away and affects everyday activities, self-confidence, relationships and work or school life. Many individuals occasionally worry about social situations, but someone with SAD will be overly worried before, during and after entering social situations.
Examples of social situations an individual with social anxiety might find challenging include:
- Meeting new people
- Making and taking phone calls
- Asking for help in public spaces
- Dating
- Participating in an interview
Social anxiety disorder is a common mental health condition that can affect anyone. Symptoms of social anxiety usually start during later childhood and early teenage years.
