A child with social anxiety disorder may cry more than usual, freeze, or have tantrums. They may fear going to school and taking part in classroom activities and school performances.
Teens and adults with social anxiety disorder may dread everyday activities, such as:

• meeting strangers
• talking in groups or starting conversations
• speaking on the telephone
• talking to authority figures
• working
• eating or drinking with company
• shopping

And additionally:

• have low self-esteem and feel insecure about their relationships
• fear being criticised
• avoid eye-to-eye contact
• misuse drugs or alcohol to try to reduce their anxiety

The fear of a social situation can sometimes build up to a panic attack, where you feel an overwhelming sense of fear, apprehension and anxiety. This usually only lasts a few minutes.

You may also experience physical symptoms, such as feeling sick, sweating, trembling and heart palpitations. These symptoms often reach a peak before quickly passing.

Although these type of symptoms can be alarming, they don't cause any physical harm.

Many people with social anxiety disorder will also have another mental health problem, such as:

• depression
• generalised anxiety disorder
• panic disorder
• post-traumatic stress disorder

Some people may also have a substance or alcohol misuse problem, because they use drugs or alcohol as a way of coping with their anxiety.

As with many mental health conditions, social anxiety disorder is most probably the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Anxiety disorders often run in families, so you're more likely to have social anxiety disorder if a close family member is affected. However, the exact nature of the relationship between genetics and learned behaviour is uncertain.

The behaviour of parents may also have an influence on whether their child will develop social anxiety disorder. If you have worried or anxious parents, it can often affect your ability to cope with anxiety during childhood, adolescence and adulthood.

Almost all phobias can be successfully treated and cured. 

People with social anxiety disorder often describe their parents as:

• overprotective
• not affectionate enough
• constantly criticising them and worrying they may do something wrong
• overemphasising the importance of manners and grooming
• exaggerating the danger of approaching strangers

Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling can be used in combination to successfully treat social anxiety and social phobia.
