Hi. From what you have mentioned, it is clear that you are suffering from social anxiety disorder. It seems you have already been to a psychiatrist and diagnosed and started on treatment. Discuss with your psychiatrist regarding further increase in dose of medications if you are not feeling any relief. In addition, discuss with him the option of psychotherapy in form of cognitive behavioural therapy. It is an effective treatment and medications in combination with psychotherapy will help you recover.

Next Steps

Discuss with your psychiatrist.
