Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) - Social Phobia
By Jeyashree Sundaram (MBA)
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) or social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme fear in getting involved in social situations. This fear causes considerable distress and disability functions in one’s daily life activities. The fear comes from perceived or actual scrutiny from others.
Complex interaction between the environment and genes raises this disorder.
Some other possible causes of social anxiety disorder are brain structure and inherited traits. Amygdala, a part inside the brain, is thought to play some role in controlling fear responses.
