What are some medication or techniques to help extremely bad social anxiety disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A therapeutic team..: With severe social anxiety, a combination of medication & psychotherapy works best. The meds can help ease the anxiety & help start the psychotherapy where techniques can be taught. Progressive desensitization can be used relatively quickly, but additional insight oriented therapy to get at the root of the anxiety may take a while. This approach can help people lead normal lives.
