I have anxiety disorder. Whenever I have to meet new people or even some friends. My heart began to beat faster, face turns red and this happens even before meeting them. And when I meet them. They can clearly see that I am dead nervous. I thought this will pass through after growing up. But am 25 now and this has killed my social life. I hampers my personal as well as professional life. I know I should not worry in meeting someone. But I can't control it. I become nervous automatically. As if someone switches the button of panic and forgot to switch off. Am desperate. I need help or else my life will be ruined.

Hello, These symptoms are suggestive of social anxiety. Some degree of anxiety is common in the general population. Such anxiety only becomes social anxiety disorder when the anxiety either prevents you from participating in desired activities or causes marked distress during such activities. It can be taken care off with the help of medications and psychotherapy. Consult nearby psychiatric center or me for further help required.
