If your heart races at the thought of making a phone call, eating in public feels impossible, and the fear of being judged keeps you isolated at home, you NEED this episode. Tune in as we tackle Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), a condition affecting 15 million American adults that often goes unrecognized and untreated.
This episode breaks down the difference between normal social nerves and debilitating social anxiety that can make basic interactions feel like life-threatening situations. From understanding how SAD typically begins in childhood around age 13 to recognizing symptoms like uncontrollable blushing, trembling, and avoiding social situations, listeners will gain clarity on this widely misunderstood condition.
