Depends: No cut and dry answer since it depends on the individual's experience with social anxiety and the associated impairment. The best line treatment for social anxiety is a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. As long as an individual adheres to the treatment regimen, completes homework assignments, cognitive restructuring, & exposure, social anxiety can be successfully treated.
