I had social phobia in 8 years, now i couldn't study, have friend and alway torturous. Can i still overcome it, im really exhausted now since my mind was unable to thinking anything else after long whole day anxiety. I afraid to talk in phone, public.

Yes, you can overcome social phobia no matter what age you are. Social phobia could be caused by many different things, such as a bad social experience like bullying at school or being teased. Or it can be caused by a predisposition to shyness. However the disorder is maintained by avoidance and false beliefs about how you appear to others. The trick to overcoming social phobia is to stop avoiding, develop a more realistic perception of how others see you, and stop doing safety behaviors. But like so many disorders this is much easier said than done, so you will probably need a therapist to help you out. Look for someone with lots of experience helping problems like yours. And never give up.

Best of luck,

Thanks a lot doctor for reply my question with very useful information. But English is not my first language, I cannot sure i will have full effective of treatment from doctor. Moreover, I'm a student, so how can i deal with the cost of treatment if it costs me more than my ability to pay. Those are main obstacles which prevent me to find a doctor. Since, everyday in school is my horrible experience.I felt my anxiety gradually more serious. Badly, I don't want my family know my anxiety so that they didn't know why i looked sad, stress, and unhealthy day by day. I could see my anxiety effect a lot to my family members since now the air of family is heavy and stressful. I'll never give up but please help me what's the procedure for the situation..appreciate a lot.
