Social Anxiety Disorder affects approximately 4% of people between the ages of 15 and 24.
Symptoms:
- Intense fear of social situations where people could judge you or you could feel embarrassed that lasts at least 6 months
- Avoiding these social situations whenever possible
- Fear or anxiety is much stronger than it should be for that type of threat
- These symptoms prevent you from being able to do well at school, at work, or in your relationships and are not due to an obvious cause.
