Social anxiety disorder symptoms may occur on two levels, emotional and physical.
Emotional symptoms: One of the major symptoms is that of overwhelming fear, which in the extreme may lead to absolute terror.
This very palpable affliction may occur because of some irrational fears concerned with impending social fixtures such as attending parties, speaking in public, performing in public (singing or dancing), going on a first date, going for a job interview, having to undergo an examination or test of your competence, being assessed by people in a higher authority, turning up for your wedding or the wedding of a loved one, meeting people after a long period of separation, making public appearances, having to undergo an operation in hospital or attending your medical practitioner for an intimate examination.
Physical Symptoms: These may occur separate from or in tandem with emotional symptoms.
The physical symptoms can be very severe in some cases.
These physical symptoms include vomiting, getting diarrhea, chest pains, dizziness, shortness of breath, dry mouth, racing heartbeat, sleeplessness and palpitations.
People who suffer from social anxiety disorder symptoms generally realize that they are being irrational but the complexity of the brain is such that for some reason it allows emotional trauma to supercede rational thought.
Anyone who recognizes that they are suffering from social anxiety disorder symptoms should look for help which can cure their malady.
Such help is available from a number of sources.
If the incidences of the malady are not too severe and occur only occasionally then some of the simple courses available on the internet may well solve the problem.
For more severe cases people might be well advised to seek medical help.
