Social Anxiety disorder symptoms and natural treatments

Social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Anxiety (intense nervousness) and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others.rnA person with social anxiety disorder is afraid that he or she will make mistakes, look bad, and be embarrassed or humiliated in front of others. The fear may be made worse by a lack of social skills or experience in social situations. The anxiety can build into a panic attack. As a result of the fear, the person endures certain social situations in extreme distress or may avoid them altogether. In addition, people with social anxiety disorder often suffer "anticipatory" anxiety - the fear of a situation before it even happens -for days or weeks before the event. In many cases, the person is aware that the fear is unreasonable, yet is unable to overcome it. Symptoms include: • A significant and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others. The individual fears that he or she will act in a way (or show anxiety symptoms) that will be humiliating or embarrassing. Note: In children, there must be evidence of the capacity for age-appropriate social relationships with familiar people and the anxiety must occur in peer settings, not just in interactions with adults. • Exposure to the feared social situation almost invariably provokes anxiety, which may take the form of a situationally bound or situationally predisposed Panic Attack. Note: In children, the anxiety may be expressed by crying, tantrums, freezing, or shrinking from social situations with unfamiliar people. • The person recognizes that the fear is excessive or unreasonable. Note: In children, this feature may be absent. • The feared social or performance situations are avoided or else are endured with intense anxiety or distress. • The avoidance, anxious anticipation, or distress in the feared social or performance situation(s) interferes significantly with the person’s normal routine, occupational (academic) functioning, or social activities or relationships, or there is marked distress about having the phobia. • In individuals under age 18 years, the duration is at least 6 months. • The fear or avoidance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition and is not better accounted for by another mental disorder. • If a general medical condition or another mental disorder is present, the fear in the first criteria is unrelated to it, e.g., the fear is not of Stuttering, trembling in Parkinson’s disease, or exhibiting abnormal eating behaviour in Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa. rnTreatment: Treatment of anxiety is dependent on each person’s individual circumstances. Treatment for social anxiety disorder can involve psychological counseling and taking medicines such as antidepressants to help reduce associated anxiety and depression.rnMany people have found a more natural approach and have reported receiving powerful energy transmissions from a man by the name of Mahendra Trivedi.
