Social Anxiety Disorder


Social Anxiety Disorder or SAD is a psychological problem wherein the child or an early adult is being in a state where their shyness is no longer helping them. They tend to be very timid and loner most of the time. This typically onsets at the age of 15 but shyness can already be detected as early as 21 months.

Some of the potential triggers of such sickness is based on the environment and the people around them. Examples include over controlling parents, peer rejection, victimization and traumatic events. This is very vicious because it can hinder dating, employment and independence.

Getting over this is simple – parents need to talk to their kids. Emotional acceptance about what is going on is needed. They have to learn to understand the situation where their kid is at and do something about it. Start when they are young and this will help them when they grow up.
