Abstract
Social anxiety disorder is the third most common psychiatric disorder in the United States. Patients strive to avoid stress-inducing situations, or they may endure them with marked psychological distress and physical reactions, including sweating and tachycardia. Social anxiety disorder can be diagnosed by a careful history and can be treated successfully with medications or psychosocial interventions.
