What Causes Social Anxiety?
Social anxiety is one of the most common of the psychological disorders. Usually it begins in mid to late adolescence. Basically, it’s a great fear of being judged in social settings. If you have social anxiety, it’s an extremely limiting condition. You tend to avoid social situations because of the fear of being seen to be less than adequate or desirable.
Estimates are that there may be 15 million Americans with this condition. A large number of them suffer with the symptoms of this condition for ten or more years before seeking treatment.
