Activity Description

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) includes the essential feature of marked fear or anxiety of one or more social situations during which the individual may or may not be under scrutiny by others. Exposure to such a social situation almost always provokes fear or anxiety in the affected individual, and the individual experiences concern that they will be judged negatively. These individuals often avoid the social situations that they fear or endure with intense anxiety, which results in impairment in social, occupational, or other realms important to function in society. This activity describes the evaluation and treatment of social anxiety disorder and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
