About Social Anxiety

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is the second most common anxiety disorder, affecting approximately 12% of Americans at some point in their lives. It goes beyond shyness to cause significant impairment in work, school, and relationships. CBT with exposure therapy is the gold-standard treatment; SSRIs (Zoloft, Lexapro) and SNRIs are effective medications.

Social Anxiety is highly treatable with the right care. Medicare covers social anxiety treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
