Five to 10% of the general population suffers from symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Social phobias, while less common than panic disorder, agoraphobia or simple phobias, are just as debilitating. Patients present with somatic, behavioural, mood and cognitive disturbances, of which unrecognized social isolation, depression, loss of employment, and drug and alcohol abuse can be the result. A symptomatic approach can be implemented through the use of education, insight, support, behaviour therapy, cognitive therapy, and pharmacological intervention.
普通人群中有5%到10%患有焦虑症症状。社交恐惧症虽然不如惊恐障碍、广场恐惧症或单纯恐惧症常见,但同样会使人衰弱。患者会出现躯体、行为、情绪和认知障碍,这些障碍可能导致未被认识到的社会隔离、抑郁、失业以及药物和酒精滥用。可以通过教育、洞察、支持、行为疗法、认知疗法和药物干预来实施对症治疗方法。
