Social anxiety disorder is otherwise called social phobia. It is characterized by the fear of being associated with other individuals. It is the fear and discomfort of being judged and evaluated negatively by other people or acting in a way that may cause humiliation or denigration. This gives rise to feelings of inadequacy, hesitation and discouragement. The person suffering from social anxiety can accept that everyone's eyes are on them at all times. Social anxiety disorder is the third largest mental health problem on the planet and can affect 7% of the population (15 million Americans) at any given time.

They have to deal with this constantly, until it is fixed. Unfortunately, most individuals have no idea that they have it, and without formal instructions, information, or medication, social anxiety constantly devastates their lives. Additionally, if they finally try to seek help, chances are they won't find it. This is the case for more than 15 million Americans, and yet virtually nothing is done to try to help them understand that they are not just shy or contemplative, they really have a problem.
