Research findings indicate significant comorbidity rates among the anxiety disorders, both between the various anxiety conditions and with other psychiatric and medical disorders. Although some other anxiety disorders have been widely investigated, social phobia was relatively unstudied before 1985. The authors review relevant epidemiological and clinical studies on comorbidity among the anxiety disorders, as well as on the relationship of social phobia with other anxiety disorders. They suggest that social phobia is a distinct diagnostic category and conclude that until a common methodological framework is established for obtaining reliable data, controlled comorbidity studies will not be fully beneficial.
研究结果表明，焦虑症之间存在显著的共病率，包括各种焦虑症之间以及与其他精神和医学疾病之间。尽管其他一些焦虑症已得到广泛研究，但社交恐惧症在1985年之前相对较少被研究。作者回顾了关于焦虑症共病以及社交恐惧症与其他焦虑症关系的相关流行病学和临床研究。他们认为社交恐惧症是一个独特的诊断类别，并得出结论，在建立一个获取可靠数据的通用方法框架之前，对照共病研究不会完全有益。
