I am having problem to communicate. I don't want to go out of my house. I don't even have much friends. I feel bored all the time. I searched the internet and found that I have social anxiety disorder. Will taking medication help me to get out of this mental problem. Can any one recommend me any medicine with less side effects. Please help me to get out of this situation.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. I can understand. You are suffering from SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER. Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition in which social interactions cause irrational anxiety. For people with social anxiety disorder, everyday social interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness and embarrassment. Symptoms may include excessive fear of situations in which one may be judged, worry about embarrassment or humiliation or concern about offending someone. Talk therapy or psychotherapy and antidepressants can help increase confidence and improve ability to interact with others. I suggest online psychotherapy and counseling. Take care.
