First-hand accounts from those suffering from social anxiety disorder and from those closely affected by it will benefit others in understanding this illness. Hearing that other people have had similar problems in social situations can be a huge relief and inspire others to seek help too. We hope you will share your experiences with social anxiety disorder. Your statement — or excerpts from it — may be posted on our web site.

All statements listed will be anonymous, but we ask that you provide a location (city/state/country). By giving locations with the testimonials, it will become apparent that individuals suffering with this disorder come from around the world and that there are no geographic boundaries.

In emailing your statement, you are giving the Madison Institute of Medicine permission to use your statement or excerpts from your statement on this web site, www.socialanxiety.factsforhealth.org

This web site has extensive information on social anxiety disorder and we hope you will continue reading. If you have questions specific to your diagnosis or treatment, you should contact your doctor. If you do not have a doctor, our clinician database may help you locate one.
