What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
9. Diagnosis
Your doctor will want to ask you what your symptoms are, and if there is a history of mental health conditions in your family. They will also want to look into your own medical history, including whether you have experienced any mental health disorders yourself.
You will likely need to be referred to a mental health expert if social anxiety disorder is suspected. The psychologist will need to ask you questions about your symptoms and a diagnosis can be made if your symptoms meet certain criteria. The psychologist will then be able to determine the best course of action for you.
