I need some tips on how to overcome social anxiety!?

Social anxiety: Social anxiety has an average age of onset of age 13 and effects 13% of the population. Cbt psychotherapy is the mainstay of treatment along with medication prescribed by a psychiatrist. Usually an ssri antidepressant is used with or without a benzodiazepine. Klonopin (clonazepam) has the most supportive data for its use among the benzodiazepines. Participation in therapy groups can be very beneficial, but many patients turn down this approach for obvious reasons. Participating in public speaking groups, which takes a lot of guts, can also be extremely helpful and it is a haven for people with social anxiety disorder.The toastmasters club is one such organization that is active throughout the United States.
