Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder: What Are the Options?

There’s no doubt that social anxiety disorder is common and can be a debilitating and frustrating problem. In my last article, we talked about the signs and symptoms of social anxiety disorder, commonly known as social anxiety phobia. Now I want to discuss social anxiety treatment so you can get the help you need to approach social situations without fear.

There are two main approaches to the treatment of social anxiety disorder. These are:

1. Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a form of therapy that uses various behavioral techniques to help you develop strategies for overcoming your fear and anxiety. Rather than delving into the subconscious causes of your social avoidance, this approach looks for practical behavioral solutions to the problem of social phobia. It addresses abnormal behaviors and thought patterns directly and helps you take the practical steps necessary to change them. Some of the interventions used with social anxiety phobia include developing anxiety management skills such as relaxation and breathing techniques that can be used to reduce anxiety in social situations.. You would then be gradually introduced back into the feared social situations and encouraged to use these techniques to reduce some of your fear and anxiety. Do these techniques work? The good news is,a study showed that around 3/4 of patients diagnosed with social anxiety disorder benefited from this type of therapy .

2. Drug Therapy

There are a variety of medications on the market that can be used to treat social anxiety disorder. These include various antidepressant medications and antianxiety drugs. In some cases where these medications have failed to work, your doctor may prescribe an antiseizure medication for treatment of social anxiety disorder. Unfortunately, these medications do have some side effects which may include sexual dysfunction, headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea in addition to a variety of others.

Usually, a combination of both forms of therapy are used in social anxiety treatment which seems to give the best results in most cases. Since the medications used for treatment of this problem do carry the potential for side effects, in mild cases, it may be best to start with cognitive therapy and add medications only if symptoms can’t be controlled with therapy.

Some other possible interventions that may improve symptoms include social skill training where you learn new, more adaptive skills for interacting in social situations through role playing. Actually acting out a social situation in a nonthreatening environment can do much to reduce the associated fear and help you gain the confidence you need to feel more comfortable in social situations.

It’s good to know social anxiety treatment is available and effective for most people. If you suffer from this disorder, don’t delay seeking treatment. The quicker you do, the sooner you’ll feel comfortable interacting in social situations again.

Why is it that Doctors know little about social anxiety

Why is it that Doctors know little about social anxiety

Why is it that Doctors know little about social anxiety.

I have been working directly with people with social anxiety in the Glasgow area for sometime now, because my aim is to help them not only deal with there anxiety but get them to the place where they want to be and often further, I hear about there experience with Doctors and how little they seem to know about social anxiety or even anxiety in general.
At Happy-minds our aim is always to help any one suffering anxiety to get through there problem, we arm them with powerful tools and mind technologies that enable them to not only control there anxiety but also to banish it completely. We get results quickly, so why is it that Doctors no very little about social anxiety?
Well as far as I can consider a Doctor is in the fortunate position of not having ever experienced anxiety at least to the point where it is detrimental or crippling to them. Anxiety seems to be outwith there model, and in fact if you consider how difficult it would be to be a doctor if suffering from social anxiety.

For someone who does suffer Social anxiety, you will know what its like to feel anything from uncomfortable to panic when faced with social situations. The tight uncomfortable feelings you get and the crippling anxiety that can lead to tension, sweats and shaking when you are around people or even at the thought of being around people.
At happy happy minds we deal directly with these negative feeling we aim to teach you how to overcome the negative feelings (the anxiety, the nervous, the panic) and to empower you so you never need to worry about experiencing these things again.
And this leads me nicely to the topic of worry, anxiety breads worry, people suffering anxiety worry constantly about different things in there life.
“What is that person thinking about me, they dont like me”
“what if i make a fool of myself”
“What if they laugh at me”
“what if she hates me”
What if, what if, what if, is a difficult cycle to brake, the what if mind set is dangerous and is fed by the anxiety but it in turn feeds the anxiety catching you in a viscious circle. Unfortunately people with anxiety never worry about good things happening
“what if things go well”
“What if i have too many friends”
“what if i have a brilliant time.”
Doctors don have any idea what this is like, and i again guess that if they suffered from a case of the what ifs we would all be in trouble, i dont want a surgeon worrying about what ifs if they are about to slice me up.
So could it be that Doctors and to a large extent psychiatrist just dont understand the model of social anxiety (i once treated a psychiatrist for anxiety, i honestly think she learned more about how anxiety works in the mind in the two hours spent with me than she ever knew before.)
At Happy-minds we teach your mind how to stop the what ifs and how to think more positively about yourself and your life.
There is a very important saying, what the mind expects the mind gets. Think about the implications if indeed you could just for a moment accept that as true, what the mind expects the mind gets. People with social anxiety expect the worse to happen in social situations, they expect to feel uncomfortable, they expect people to dislike them, and because there mind is focused on these things that is what they will PERCEIVE, notice i say perceive because it is only there perception, there perception could if trained right notice all the wonderful things about people, notice all the times people actually like them.
So why is it Doctors know little about social anxiety ? well i would have to conclude that its outside there experience and of course they cant be expected to know everything, if you want your social anxiety dealt with, if you want to be comfortable in any situation then seek out someone who has specialized knowledge and i would say more importantly has overcome similar situation.
