A member asked:

Why conversation difficulties happen? mostly feels awkward when over phone or direct i have nothing to talk about. is it my fear or else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Psychodynamic tx: Find a psychodynamically oriented therapist to speak with about social anxiety. Usually social anxiety is not just about being in crowds. Then, if needed, go with a psychiatric referral from your GP. GP's can prescribe psychotropic meds for anxiety and depression, but they do not have the specialty training that psychiatrists do. Lets find the right professional for the job
