Depression and Anxiety

What is social anxiety, and what are some treatment options?

Social anxiety is one of several types of stress that can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Our team in Manhattan, New York, is here to provide a definitive diagnosis and talk to patients about appropriate treatment options based on the severity of their condition.

What is social anxiety?

At the New York Center for Integrative Health, our Manhattan, New York area doctors describe social anxiety as a disproportionate fear of social situations. It is a form of extreme shyness and can cause intense feelings of self-consciousness, such as worrying about what others think or being embarrassed in front of people. People with social anxiety may find themselves avoiding certain situations altogether or feeling overwhelmed when they are unable to escape them. Social anxiety affects both men and women and can have a variety of causes.

What are some treatment options for social anxiety?

Fortunately, our highly trained team of doctors has effective treatments to help people with social anxiety. We understand how difficult it can be to overcome these feelings, so our compassionate doctors strive to provide patient-centered care tailored to each individual’s needs. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported and comfortable during your journey and that the lifestyle changes we recommend relieve you from your social anxiety symptoms. First, our team performs a thorough evaluation and medical assessment to get you a definitive diagnosis of your social anxiety. Then, and only then, can we make recommendations for treatment. Treatment may include one of the following, or a combination of services, including:

  • Acupuncture
  • Botanical medicines
  • Nutraceuticals
  • Nutritional changes
  • Prescription medications
  • Biofeedback
  • Counseling
  • Hypnotherapy
