SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER

Social Anxiety Disorder, sometimes called Social Phobia or SAD, involves anxiety and a overwhelming constant self-consciousness in everyday social interactions. People with Social Anxiety Disorder have an intense fear that they are being watched or judged by others, or they may have a fear of being embarrassed or humiliated by their own actions. Also, for example, if there is a certain situation planned two weeks ahead of time, a SAD sufferer may worry for days in advance.

Social Anxiety Disorder can make it hard to meet, and keep friends, or doing anything in front of others like eating, or drinking.

Some of the physical symptoms that comes with Social Anxiety Disorder are:

 Sweating
 Nausea
 Difficulty Talking
 Blushing

These symptoms may make you feel embarrassed, and make you feel all eyes are on you. You may only feel bad with people outside your family.

Drug or alcohol abuse usually occurs with Social Anxiety Disorder. This disorder is treatable with medicine and therapy.
