Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety Disorder, also known as social phobia, is a mental health condition that often affects day to day life of patients. From the perspective of the people who experience it, the disease can be seen as a constant fear of being judged and watched by others. In fact, the nucleus of this phobia is the other's judgment. This leads to an extremely high level of self-consciousness during everyday situations and a tendency to avoid meeting new people. General sintomps that people with social anxiety disorder experience when dealing with have to perform in front of or around others are: . Blush, sweat, tremble, feel a rapid heart rate, or feel their “mind going blank”; . Feel nauseous or sick to their stomach; . Show a rigid body posture, make little eye contact, or speak with an overly soft voice; . Find it scary and difficult to be with other people, especially those they don’t already know and have a hard time talking to them even though they wish they could; . Be very self-conscious in front of other people and feel embarrassed and awkward; . Be very afraid that other people will judge them; . Stay away from places where there are other people. From my researches, I discovered that usually, it appears in late adolescence, between 8 and 15 years of life. And 60% of the affected ones are women.
