 Feature Article
Disorder of the Decade

Provided byPsychology Today

Everyone feels self-conscious occasionally. Many folks would rather die than give a speech or introduce themselves to a stranger. But a number of Americans harbor an irrational fear that their social performance is being carefully monitored and criticized by others all the time. As a result, these shy-meisters will go to great lengths to avoid eating, drinking, speaking, or even writing in public.

The condition, social phobia, affects about 2% of the population and is "one of the worst neglected disorders of our time," insists psychologist Barry Wolfe, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Mental Health. He is one of a pack of researchers and clinicians across the country paying heightened attention to the disorder, encouraged by the results of new behavioral and drug therapies.
