When to get help for social anxiety
It's a good idea to see your GP if you think you have social anxiety, especially if it's having a big impact on your life.
It's a common problem and there are treatments that can help.
Asking for help can be difficult, but your GP will be aware that many people struggle with social anxiety and will try to put you at ease.
Your GP will ask you about your feelings, behaviours and symptoms to find out about your anxiety in social situations.
If they think you could have social anxiety, you'll be referred to a mental health specialist to have a full assessment and talk about treatments.
You can also refer yourself directly for psychological (talking) therapies on the NHS without seeing your GP.
