Social Anxiety Disorder And Depression: How Are They Related?
Difficulty in functioning socially, with other people, in personal or professional life is an indication of a social anxiety disorder that leads to depression. What is this all about?
Social Anxiety Disorder — What Is It?
Do you have extreme stage fright? Do you have difficulty expressing yourself when in the company of non-relatives or not-so-close acquaintances, unfamiliar people? For all you know, you may be suffering from social anxiety disorder. This disorder, sometimes known also as social phobia, is that state of prolonged social anxiety and worry that causes you great distress and hampers you from functioning properly in some, if not most, areas of your daily life.
People around you may think that you are just shy since you have been this way since you were a kid. Being bashful is the adjective that describes you best. However, there is a line that separates bashfulness from social anxiety disorder.
Are You Just Shy?
For example, if you have the disorder, you may not want to mingle with other people because doing so brings you headaches, nausea or worse will cause you to vomit.
With being shy, you don’t feel like vomiting and dizzy, you are only apprehensive of how you will approach other people. Once you and the persons you are talking too have warmed up to each other, you can converse with them without difficulty. A person with social anxiety can not push himself to socialize. There is no such thing as a warm up period for him.
Symptoms
Clinically, social anxiety disorder is manifested by excessive anxiety and self-consciousness in the most ordinary of everyday, normal situations involving other people. Sometimes, the disorder is limited, as when you are only fearful of speaking or performing in front of an audience, or you would not want to be socializing with others. But in some cases the social phobia is so broad and diverse that the anxiety manifests itself in almost every situation where you are exposed to other people.
Socio-phobics have this irrational fear of being watched, of being judged for their actions, of being evaluated every time by others, whether these others be family, friends, co-workers, or even strangers. The anxiety is so intense that the sociophobic individual can not work or can not study, can not talk, can not interact.
In front of other people, do you sweat profusely? Do you tremble or blush excessively? Do you get goose bumps in the company of a group of people? Do you become panicky when asked to speak in front of others?
Degrees of Social Anxiety
Social anxiety has degrees of disorder. It may be mild or severe. Mild social anxiety can be cured by therapy and simple self-help techniques such as holding a stress ball during a conference or a group meeting.
The severe form of this social anxiety needs medications since most of the times anxiety is accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hearing things when exposed to the public.
How Do You Address Social Anxiety Disorder?
The repercussions and anti-social effects of this disorder are far-reaching, so much so that you need to admit and accept the fact if you feel any of the tell tale signs of a social anxiety disorder. Diagnosis is very important for the proper treatment regimen to be prescribed accordingly.
Cognitive behavior therapy is helpful in this. The behavioral aspects of the therapy, coupled with the cognitive ones, are brought in to affect thinking patterns and reactions to situations that may cause anxiety. Coupled with the therapy are some forms of prescriptive medications that include antidepressants of the SSRI and SNRI types, the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and the serotonin-norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors, respectively.
Family Support
The pharmacological treatments, some experts contend, may not be enough to totally cure the sufferer of the disorder. Aside from the side effects brought about by the medications, the tendency to relapse after the discontinuance of the drugs is possible.
A deeper need for comprehensive psychotherapy may be in order to ensure prolonged, if not permanent treatment. Take note, however, that the therapy must be supported by the family and close circle of friends; their support and guidance is critical to reinforce the patient’s feeling of self-worth again. Only then will social functioning and ability to interact be possible to be regained. Social anxiety disorder and depression are curable; it only takes a little more help from the people behind the sufferer.

What to Do When you Feel a Panic Attack Coming Part 3: Facing the Demon
Exposures involve voluntarily bringing on a mild to moderate level of anxiety In other words, exposures show you ways to face the demon, challenge him head on, and kill him once and for all.
There are two keys to exposures:
1. They have to be voluntary (which means that you can’t do them all the time, because you won’t always be in the mood)
2. If you imagine your anxiety from a 0-8 (with 0 being calm and 8 being a panic attack), you want to hit a 4 during any given exposure (because if you go above a 4, the anxiety might get ahead of you and no longer be voluntary and under your control).
Exposures are used to gain mastery over any phobia. They work for panic disorder because the core of panic disorder is usually phobia as well: A phobia to certain physical sensations. Whether it’s a racing heart, dizziness, nausea, a choking sensation, or a certain pain, every panic disorder patient has at least one or two physical symptoms that trigger their panic cycle. Exposures show you how to experience these sensations in such a way that you finally stop being triggered by them. After 1-2 months of exposures, most patients find that coping techniques begin to be effective (i.e. the shield actually starts working). Once patients are good at exposures, they can often use them to actually stop a panic attack that is coming on. In other words, once the demon appears, they can turn the tables on the demon, challenge it, and get it to run scared with it’s tail between it’s legs. After several months of exposures, most of my patients become completely panic free (and can usually be taken off on any panic-related medications they have started).
Exposures are at the heart of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and they are by far the most useful techniques for killing the Demon and gaining mastery over panic once and for all.

The Truth About Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is an illness that affects people in their early to middle adulthood. It is characterized by brief, unprovoked episodes of panic. When those with panic disorder experience these episodes of panic, the feelings of intense fear is also accompanied by physical discomfort like a feeling of smothering, hand numbness, and chest pain. The panic episode always begins quickly and usually with no warning, and reaches its peak within ten minutes. Women are more likely to have panic disorder than men. Medical treatment for panic disorder has proven to be very effective with a positive outcome for two-thirds of those who have the illness. But only a small percentage (10 to 20 percent) are ever fully cured of panic disorder. Every year, 2.4 million people are diagnosed and/or treated for panic disorder.
To get a correct diagnosis of panic disorder, a patient must fit certain criteria. A person with panic disorder who has experienced a panic episode should have had at least one month of the following after the experience:
• serious concern about what the attack means and if it is a sign of something more serious • worry about the chance of experiencing more panic episodes • a significant change in routine or behavior following that panic episode.
A person with panic disorder should also experience regular panic attacks with several of the following symptoms:
• a racing heart • excessive sweating • pain in the chest • a feeling of lightheadedness and nausea • having a hard time breathing • tingling in the hands, face, feet or mouth • chills or face and chest flushes • an out-of-body feeling like a dreamlike state • intense fear • tunnel vision and an inability to focus on anything but what is causing the panic attacks • crying • extreme fatigue • heightened senses
Panic attacks in panic disorder last on average two to eight minutes.
A person with true panic disorder should have panic attacks that are not brought on by a medical condition like hyperthyroidism, or brought on by substance abuse. People diagnosed with panic disorder are rarely diagnosed with disease if the panic attacks they experience can be explained by another mental disorder like a social phobia.
Panic disorder usually starts in young adulthood, between the ages of 18 and 24. Panic disorder can last a few months or many years. Treatment for panic disorder involves medication and therapy.
While panic disorder is rarely fully curable, appropriate treatment reduces panic attacks in 70 to 90 percent of people. Improvements from the symptoms of panic disorder can be seen as soon as a few weeks after treatment.
Panic disorder is a disabling disease that prevents those who have it from doing the average daily tasks the majority of people take for granted. But the good news is that with effective treatment, those with panic disorder can live happy, healthy, normal lives.
