A member asked:

Can you tell me if all of the brain surgery i have had is the cause of my social anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Although that: might be a causative factor - I really can't answer that question. The reason is that a provider who doesn't know your past surgeries & experiences would be guessing. Be well.
