Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is an excessive, persistent
fear of social and performance situations so severe it disrupts your daily life
and relationships. People with social anxiety disorder have a persistent, intense
and ongoing fear of being watched, judged by others and being embarrassed or
humiliated by their own actions. Doctors use a set of questions to help determine
whether you have social anxiety disorder. These questions focus on fears and anxieties
surrounding being in social situations. They might also explore other problems,
such as substance abuse or depression, which often accompany social anxiety disorder.
Then they prescribe Paxil, (Paroxetine Hydrochloride.) Treatment can involve medications,
(Paxil, Paroxetine Hydrochloride, others), psychotherapy (talk therapy), or both.
It is likely you will need ongoing treatment to prevent your social anxiety disorder from returning.
