Social anxiety, also known as “social phobia”, is one of the most common forms of psychological complication. However, unlike other common mental issues, the onset of the disorder is almost always during the period of adolescence or childhood. Also, social phobia is usually hard to detect with accuracy and there is a lack of awareness on its causes and symptoms. Social phobia is the fear of interacting with other persons or mingling in social situations that may easily trigger negative emotions or feelings of criticism, inadequacy, inferiority and self-consciousness. Many people seek medical care only to find out they are suffering from social phobia, and not some life-threatening disease. It is believed that this type of psychological stress is most upsetting during the first 30 years of life. The majority of medical experts believe that early intervention may greatly reduce the severity of this disruptive mental burden, if not treat the disorder. Social anxiety is strongly correlated during the early years of adult life and later depressive attacks. Unfortunately, early intervention is not given priority within the healthcare system or the government, as is the issue with many mental problems. A teenager or a child suffering from this mental dilemma may also experience an early sign of depression, and having no one else around to understand what the person is going through makes the situation worse. The affliction increases the chances that an individual will try to find solutions to their problems without help from others. Without a clear understanding of the real source of the problem, a socially inferior person may likely conclude that there is really something wrong with himself and he becomes more paranoid, thus the occurrence of depression. When they occur at the same time, social anxiety and depression can make any type of situation for the one being hounded by the illness extremely unbearable.
