Social anxiety Self Test

  • Do you suffer from social anxiety?
  • are you afraid of being judged by others?
  • do you avoid doing things because you feel anxious about meeting people?
  • are you too self conscious?
  • Does your anxiety interfere with your objectives?

Those are just some questions that you should be asking your self to know if you have a social anxiety disorder. That is a simple self test that you can do on your own, however you can also go with a psychotherapist or doctor so he can make you are test to know how severe is your social phobia.

Usually in those tests they will ask you several questions about your daily life and anxious situations with people and at work. They also try to evaluate your reactions in social situations by making your enter in to a room with people and see how you react to a specific situation.

The psychotherapist will take note of what are your emotions, your physical reactions and anxiety that you show. For some people those kind of evaluation test can be very difficult and stressful, but the therapist should know how much you can handle and the information that he will get will be of a lot of help to determine where you need most help and how he can help you.

On the other hand on a social anxiety disorder self test, you just have to answer some simple questions like the ones i gave you above and then you will get a result on how severe is your case, this kind of test will is helpful to know that you need professional help especially in a severe case.

Also a self test is very helpful to know if you just have a simple case of anxiety in a specific situation like performance, public speaking or if you have actually a social phobia disorder.

So there are 2 places where you can take a professional self test:

However those are not substitute of medical diagnosis or medical advice, you need to always consult your doctor for further treatment and proper diagnosis.

Dont be afraid of seeking help, many people have improved dramatically for taking a cognitive behavioral therapy or reducing their symptoms with medications.

If you dont treat your anxiety, it can get worse and you will not be able to achieve your goals if you avoid social activities. Talk with your family and doctor, there are some effective treatments available.
