SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER

Psychology

Social Anxiety Disorder is characterised by an intense fear of social situations in which the person anticipates being evaluated negatively. According to Global surveys, about 33.7% of the population is affected by anxiety disorder. (Bandelow 2015). The objective of this paper is to investigate the underlying causes of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and its prevalence among the global population. This study aims to identify common medical and psychological interventions employed to treat or assist individuals in adapting to SAD and to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions. Furthermore, this study seeks to consolidate and analyse findings from current, highly-regarded research papers on SAD, with the goal of synthesising their outcomes into a comprehensive study. Additionally, this paper endeavours to explore the potential influence of genomes and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) on Social Anxiety Disorder and other general anxiety disorders. By doing so, it hopes to contribute to the broader understanding and treatment of these conditions.
