An essential guide for the 5.3 million American sufferers of social
anxiety from a leading psychiatrist and researcher An estimated 5.3
million Americans experience social anxiety disorder, making it the
third most common psychiatric illness in the United States. Unlike
people with simple shyness, people with social anxiety disorder
become sick with fear in social situations, experiencing physical
symptoms like sweating, trembling, a shaky voice, or a pounding
heart. They realize their fears are irrational, but they are
virtually incapable of maintaining healthy relationships and
performing everyday tasks in public settings without medical
treatment. In Coping with Social Anxiety, Eric Hollander, director
of the Compulsive, Impulsive, and Anxiety Disorders Program at the
Mt. Sinai Medical Center explains - the nature of social anxiety
disorder and how it differs from simple shyness and phobia - the
latest research on the physiological effects of social anxiety
disorder and its links with depression - the full range of
treatment options-and how to select the best therapeutic course
with the help of a medical professional Illustrated by accounts of
successful treatment from Hollander's clinical practice, this book
will help readers make informed judgments about the proper
treatment to seek for themselves or someone close to them.
