I need advice, please. What is best Neurology or psychiatry for social anxiety treatment?
ByI made an appointment in a local clinical for psychiatry but the lady said neurology also treat these cases. I don't know what to chose? Do you have any idea? They would be greatly appreciated.
I had that, CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy) is the therapy for that particular problem. I'd reasearch all you symtoms before you go though and have a clear idea on what you have because they just take a wild guess and perscribe a medication.
Right now i take Zoloft at 1 and 1/2 pills of 50mgs ( made for Anxiety, and doesn't react to anything really), which has basicaly saved my social life. i used to spend 5 mins in class thinking about wether or not i should go up and sharpen my pencil, because i feared that anxiety rush so much. i rarely spoke and if i did i would most likely slur a few sentences, everybody thought i was some kind of creep because of it, it sucked. but know i basicaly do whatever i want no problem not even the thought about questioning it either. i look at people that i can tell are nervous and just think why are they nervous their isn't even a crowd. but i know how hard it is so i don't take anything against them.

the treatment is alcohol. Ofc, you have to be 21 to take it, by which time the problem will likely go away.

Try exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week(especially running/jogging). I've read numerous results from studies citing it as just as effective, if not more effective than drugs.
