Social Anxiety
People with social anxiety
have an intense, persistent,
and chronic fear of being
watched and judged by
others and of doing things
that will embarrass them.
Physical symptoms that
often accompany social
anxiety include blushing,
profuse sweating,
trembling, nausea, and
difficulty talking.
Social phobia affects about
15 million American adults.
Women and men are
equally likely to develop the
disorder.
Social phobia can be
successfully treated with
certain kinds of
psychotherapy or
medications.
