While social anxiety is a major mental health challenge impacting millions, the disorder has proven to be a major challenge for the mental health community. At least 15 million or 6.8% of the U.S. population suffer from social anxiety. An Anxiety Disorders Association of America survey found that “36% of people with social anxiety disorder report experiencing symptoms for 10 years of more before seeking help and that it is equally common among men and women, typically beginning around age 13.”
Social Anxiety: The Untold Story is the state of the art and science self -help program for social anxiety. It includes rare interviews with children, teens, adults, and families who have resolved the disorder. This program is available as training for mental health professionals.
Clinical experience at Berent Associates, where thousands of social anxiety sufferers of all ages have been treated since 1978, suggests that the etiology of the disorder is in place far earlier than age 13. One piece of evidence for this analytic is the statistic that selective mutism, which is an extreme form of social phobia identifiable at an early age, impacts approximately 7 out of 1,000 children.
What distinguishes social anxiety from other anxiety disorders is the dynamic of performance. That said, social anxiety is co-morbid with other anxiety disorders primarily Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, which includes perfectionism, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Other substantial co-morbidity includes avoidant and dependent personality, dysthymia, substance dependence, and technology over dependence.
