SOCIAL PHOBIA
Typically beginning
in mid-adolescence, social phobia is characterized by a fear of appearing
clumsy or awkward and of having others observe this behaviour. To meet
the criteria for social phobia, patients must have experienced strong
repeated fears about showing anxiety or behaving in some way that will
be embarrassing or humiliating on at least one social or performance situation
that involves facing strangers or being watched by others. Patients under
18 years of age must have the symptoms for six months or longer. In addition
:
|
| • |
The
phobic stimulus almost always causes anxiety. |
| • |
The
patient realizes that this fear is unreasonable or out of proportion.
|
| • |
The
patient either avoids the situation or endures it with severe distress
or anxiety. |
| • |
Either
there is marked distress about having the phobia, or it markedly interferes
with the patient's usual routines or social, job or personal functioning.
|
| • |
Other
mental disorders don't explain the symptoms better |
