Social Anxiety Disorder / Social Phobia
Social Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia is the most common form of anxiety disorder and is believed to affect around 10% of the population at some time in their lives. It can affect anyone, from shop assistant to film star. American entertainers such as Donny Osmond, Barbara Streisand and Kim Basinger have all spoken to the media of their experience of -- and eventual recovery from -- social phobia.
The driver behind social anxiety disorder or social phobia is often the fear of being negatively evaluated by others. This can make the individual afraid to do anything that might embarrass themselves in public.
Some of the most common social phobias are: fear of public speaking, fear of performing on stage, fear of exams, fear of dealing with authority figures, fear of using public toilets, fear regarding sexual performance, and fear of general social encounters.
The Origins Of Social Phobia
Social phobia often has its origins in childhood or adolescence and according to the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), around 40% of all social phobias begin before the age of 10 and 95% before the age of 20, though they may not become acutely manifest until later in life.The effects of social anxiety disorder or social phobia can be devastating, with the WPA estimating that, compared to the general population, sufferers are more likely to be single, attain lower levels of education, have other conditions such as depression, contemplate suicide, abuse drugs and/or alcohol, have fewer friends and acquaintances, and have an erratic work history such as being repeatedly sacked and being often absent from or late to work.
Obviously, social phobia can have an enormously negative effect on the individual's life, yet there is no real need to continue suffering from this intensely painful condition.
