I’ve learned that I have a Social Anxiety Disorder - what’s the next step in pursuing treatment?
It’s sort of a self diagnoses. I’ve been asking around for years and doing research off and on and I came across the symptoms for Social Anxiety Disorder. I seem to have about 90% of the symptoms in such a severe way that it effects my daily life dramatically. I’m unable to see psychologists or doctors due to the cost, and I don’t have any support from family. I’ve been reading about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but how do I know that’s right for me? As long as I know a certain treatment will work for me, I would be willing to do everything in my power to try and get it. I’m afraid if I wait too long, my depression as a result from my social anxiety will get even worse and impair any chances I have of recovering. Thanks everyone!
I also have social anxiety and I feel for you….I tried everything because I’m not much of a medicine person and I thought I could handle it myself but I couldnt I’m on Lexapro right now and I’m doing so much better you wouldnt even think I had social anxiety. If you don’t have the money I would say get a good book about the subject…goodluck

mmm did you fail the first question of your self diagnoses for this disease … which is … is the indidual able to tolerate others? … just curious … but truthfully dude … if you really think you are mental … there are plenty of clinics out there, and plenty of free clinics … you are listing a diagnoses that means you have a chance of hurting yourself or others … get help.

Be 100 percent sure that you know what you’re talking about if your going to self diagnose. Shrinks often take a different point of view toward social anxiety than you or i, and what we perceive to be social anxiety is often considered to by a confidence/self esteem issue by them; and only in extreme cases is it social anxiety or indeed it can be linked straight back to depression.
I would do what you can to get a second opinion, if you try to make yourself believe you have it then its a safe bet than you will develop it if you haven’t already and you’ll be causing more harm than good.
