SAD is a debilitating condition in which individuals experience intense anxiety and self-consciousness in social situations. This fear often leads to avoidance behavior, hindering personal and professional growth.

• Intense Fear of Social Situations: Overwhelming anxiety in social settings, especially with unfamiliar people or situations.

• Excessive Self-Consciousness: Persistent self-consciousness, fear of judgment, and worries about embarrassment in social situations.

• Avoidance Behavior: Avoidance of social situations or enduring them with discomfort.

• Physical Symptoms: Anxiety-related physical symptoms like sweating, trembling, blushing, rapid heartbeat, and nausea.

• Difficulty Speaking: Challenges in speaking in public, participating in conversations, or expressing oneself socially.

• Anticipatory Anxiety: Severe anxiety leading up to social events, even days or weeks in advance.
