Frequently Asked Questions
Is social anxiety the same as being shy?
No. While shyness is a personality trait that may cause mild discomfort, social anxiety disorder is a clinical condition that causes significant distress and functional impairment. People with social anxiety often avoid important life activities, relationships, and career opportunities due to intense fear of judgment.
What medications work best for social anxiety?
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like sertraline and paroxetine are considered first-line treatments for social anxiety disorder. SNRIs like venlafaxine are also effective. Beta-blockers may be prescribed for situational anxiety such as public speaking. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your specific symptoms and needs.
